I do have two USB-mice here. One is a cheapo Typhoon 40150 stream optical mouse
which works as expected (but afaik only since I last cvsupped). The other is
a hama 49154 discovery wheelmouse optical, which gives the following:

Sep 21 11:09:39 katrin /kernel: ums1: vendor 0x062a product 0x0000, rev 1.10/2.04, addr 2, iclass 3/1
Sep 21 11:09:44 katrin /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: ums1 attach returned 6
Sep 21 11:09:49 katrin /kernel: ugen0: vendor 0x062a product 0x0000, rev 1.10/2.04, addr 2
Sep 21 11:09:54 katrin /kernel: ugen0: setting configuration index 0 failed
Sep 21 11:09:54 katrin /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: ugen0 attach returned 6

The epson perfection scanner 1260 works without problems, but initialisation 
must be done via Linux or Windows, and it shouldn't be switched off afterwards.
Call that strange!

My 6-in-1 cardreader makes no problems, at least with MS and SD/MMS-Cards
(USB-support works like a charm for about 2 months I guess). It would be
good to move this out of the kernel, though, as the floppy-disk-problem(tm)
got me there as well (removing the card without thinking, and I had it
mounted rw, resulting in a kernel panic). Is there no way to prevent this?

Interestingly, if I try to attach the 6-in-1 cardreader to the port where
I tried the hama USB mouse, I get:

Sep 21 11:25:28 katrin /kernel: uhub2: port error, restarting port 1
Sep 21 11:25:44 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1
Sep 21 11:25:55 katrin /kernel: uhub2: port error, restarting port 1
Sep 21 11:26:11 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1
Sep 21 11:26:35 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 2
Sep 21 11:28:49 katrin /kernel: uhub2: port error, restarting port 1
Sep 21 11:29:05 katrin /kernel: uhub2: device problem, disabling port 1

(usually it works on uhub2, both port 1 and 2). Using a different uhub:

Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: umass0: ICSI IC1100 V2.5B, rev 1.10/2.5b, addr 3
Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0: <ICSI IC1100        CF 2.5B> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0: 650KB/s transfers
Sep 21 11:29:18 katrin /kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not presen

This is all on 4.9-PRERELEASE from Sep. 14 2003. So USB support is getting
better (thanx a lot to everyone who contributed!), but it is still some way
to go (imho).

Holger
