In 2.6.4,on a machine with a VIA chipset (uhci) and an additional
ehci usb2/ieee1394 card, I get an endless stream of: 

hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port %d (where %d is 3, 4, and 5).  

I also got this message in 2.6.1, though I don't think it was quite
so insistent, so this doesn't seem to have been affected by the
over-current patches mentioned in the 2.6.4 Changelog.
USB seems to work fine, but the message clutters the logs
and makes it impossible to look for other messages.

This is on a gigabyte 6va7 motherboard, which has a VIA chipset with
onboard USB (UHCI).  In addition, I have a USB2/ieee1394 PCI card, a
D-Link DFB-A5, about which lspci says:
02:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Lucent Microelectronics FW323 (rev 04)
02:01.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 41)
02:01.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 41)
02:01.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 02)

dmesg says
ehci_hcd 0000:02:01.2: EHCI Host Controller
ehci_hcd 0000:02:01.2: irq 18, pci mem e8806f00
ehci_hcd 0000:02:01.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
ehci_hcd 0000:02:01.2: USB 2.0 enabled, EHCI 0.95, driver 2003-Dec-29

This looks a bit like the thread in
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20713.html
and I get the impression that the problem is related to "extra"
usb ports that the kernel thinks are on the ehci card (it only has
two usb ports, though it also has three ieee1394 ports).

Though in my case it doesn't seem to matter whether I have anything
plugged in to the USB system; I get that message upon boot, with no
devices active (except an unpowered usb hub which is connected to
one of the onboard UHCI ports, and unplugging that doesn't make the
messages stop).

I've temporarily disabled the whole 
                        if (portchange & USB_PORT_STAT_C_OVERCURRENT) {
clause on line 1091 of drivers/usb/core/hub.c, so I can see other
messages, and everything still seems to work, but I'd like to come
up with a better solution, or at least find out if this is a known
problem or if I should report it in kernel bugzilla or on the
linux-usb list or somewhere like that.

I'd be happy to try patches or printks, or provide more details.

Thanks for any help!
