Is there a good high speed hub for the sheevaplug ?

Hi , I`ve tried using 2 hubs so far and finished up with 2 different results.
The first hub works , but looks like it`s working at usb 1 standard because it is very very slow only about 1 meg /sec , while the other hub gives errors .

Code:

  usb 1-1.4.3: reset high speed USB device using orion-ehci and address 33

It`s working without a hub, it`s there hubs which work with the sheevaplug and some don`t ?

I've used a D-Link 7-port USB 2.0 powered hub, DUB-H7, for the better part of a year with good results.  It has a 3 amp power supply and I am currently running two USB-powered external drives and a couple prologic serial-to-USB devices.  They all seem to work fine.  I cannot boot from a device on the hub, but I don't know of any hub that the Uboot is capable of booting through.  Once booted, though, Linux has no trouble recognizing the bub and utilizing the devices connected to it.

With all the talk about the wimpy power supplies on the Plugs, if mine dies, I might even try utilizing the D-Link's 5V power brick to power the Plug as well as its USB devices.  Good luck.

I think that could be my problem, I`ve got 2 unknown unbranded versions.
I`ll see if I can get that model from anywhere .
Can`t see why it won`t boot off the hub , but that isn`t a problem for me having the Esata to boot off.

I can confirm the 'pickiness' of the Plug with regards to USB hubs. I had a sitecom hub, but it disconnected every now and then (it worked fine with my old NSLU2). I bought a brand new USB hub: Dlink DUB-H4, which is working fine.

I have a 4-port (optionally-powered) Belkin hub that works OK
