What happens if you plug the mice into the motherboard directly. (for

Tried various combinations of direct and hub (powered and not) connections with no luck in removing the non-deterministic behavior.

Then I noticed that both ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd were being loaded by the Ubuntu scripts. Some messing around with them yields the answer:

ehci_hcd is broken.

uhci_hcd works just fine so far every single time, with the configuration I'm after in the long run: one hub per workstation, each hub connected to the root hub. I don't even need to power the hubs directly, which is *great* for both cable and power management. Not sure what the official power usage is on the mice, but I suspect each keyboard/mouse pair isn't more than 25mA, and IIRC I have a budget of 500mA total off the root hub.

While I'd like to see ehci_hcd working before I leave (Sept. 4), I don't need the 480Mbps capability currently, so I've just blacklisted ehci_hcd and all is well.
