hey volkspost,
so the ONLY way for a USB HUB to work is with the one with its own power supply??

can anyone else verify this before i go out and buy one. i guess i don't understand why a USB HUB even works for 10.5.6 and late 2008 MB given the internal USB driver has been changed by apple. is this because the USB HUB with power supply uses its own USB driver?

do you or anyone have an idea when the dev team may come out with a fix for 10.5.6 (or for late 2008 MB) to resolve the DFU issue?
