USB hub possibility?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi again,

I ran into a question regarding an USB hub. Is the custom firmware able to 
handle an (acitve) hub?

I am using this hub: 
http://www.ednet-gmbh.de/?lang=en&corp_id=0&page=1&cat=10,80,2&artnr=85021

Connecting it to my laptop or my desktop works, dmesg output is as following 
... works perfect!

[ 4523.161547] usb 2-1.5: new high speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
[ 4523.249386] usb 2-1.5: New USB device found, idVendor=05e3, idProduct=0608
[ 4523.249393] usb 2-1.5: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, 
SerialNumber=0
[ 4523.249399] usb 2-1.5: Product: USB2.0 Hub
[ 4523.250343] hub 2-1.5:1.0: USB hub found
[ 4523.250625] hub 2-1.5:1.0: 4 ports detected

When I connect this hub to the RT-N56U nothing is detected. It simply does not 
realize the device is connected although an external power supply is also 
present.

Is this a hardware or a software limitation? Anybody using an USB hub?

Thanks & regards

Hi there! Yes, there is an issue 
http://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/issues/detail?id=37.
It is in russian, but he tells he can access his disk, the problem is he can't 
see it in web interface...
You drive actually should be mounted, but you will not be able to see any disk 
or hub in web interface now. Have you tried to plug disk into it?

Hey,

I did not even look into the webinterface. I was only in shell. Plugging in 
anything into the hub results in no recognition on the router. All devices I 
tried work direct on both  of the usb ports  but not on the hub. What seems 
strange to me: when I connect the hub to one of my other Linux machines it is 
detected as a separate device but there is absolutely no detection on the 
router. Is there something messed up with usb?

That's strange, because there are drivers in kernel. Could you please show:
# cat /proc/partitions
# mount
when a disk is plugged into hub
