My USB hubs are actually 5m powered extention cords with Genesys Logic 4 port usb2.0 chips. I can't get webcams work with these "usb hubs", but when connected directly to the usb port they work really well. I have tried two different machines (both Ubuntu 6.06) and two different webcams.
Ubuntu:
- webcams = working
- webcams w/ Genesys Logic usb hub = NOT working
- memory sticks w/ Genesys Logic usb hub = working
Windows:
- webcams w/ three Genesys Logic usb hubs = working

Is there a driver to make this type of usb hub working with Linux? I saw a same kind of a problem on some newsgroup, someone couldn't get his mouse working when using Genesys Logic usb hub. The problem remained unsolved, though.
