Problematic device:
Cooler Master "CM Gears" usb keyboard. It is usb 1.1.
State of affairs:
I have uhci_hcd compiled into the kernel (2.6.10-gentoo-r6), and I've
modprobed in ehci_hcd. I do this because with NO ehci_hcd loaded,
everything works fine, and because the machine is used for work, this is
important to me. Various 2.6 kernels before this exhibit the same
problems. Furthermore, when placed on a port-replicator, the
inconsistency problem is worse. I hadn't the usb devices the last time I
used a 2.4 kernel. Skirting around the mailing lists it seems that some
others are having problems with it too, but the remedy isn't clear.
Essentially I want ehci speeds for my other devices AND to connect the
keyboard via a usb 2 hub.
No devices connected:

-------------------------------------------------
Connecting a usb 2 hub to the "bottom" of the two usb ports on the
laptop, with a usb 1.1 wireless-mouse (connected to the usb 2 hub):

-------------------------------------------------
Now I connect the usb keyboard to the usb 2 hub (same applies to any of
the three ports remaining on it):
/: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci_hcd/6p, 480M

... this message just keeps on repeating.
-------------------------------------------------
So then I connect the usb keyboard to the "top" of the two usb ports on
the laptop:

|__ Port 1: Dev 18, If 0, Class=hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M

... this behaviour is inconsistent... some-times there are no errors
before the device loads. The above is with no port-replicator, but is
worse when it is on a port-replicator
-------------------------------------------------
If I switch the keyboard to "bottom" usb port of the laptop (and remove
the hub):

... but some-times it will behave like the prior example.
I am not sure what is going on. I'm guessing this is a device behaving
badly? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
