This should fix our continuing problems with many identical USB devices on one bus! In particular 6 keyspans quad serial ports on the same USB bus never come up in the same order with hotplug which is a bit embarrassing. Without hotplug they come up in the right order every time! -- Nick Craig-Wood ncw1@axis.demon.co.uk
