USB: full-speed hides low-speed devices

I have the USB devices listed below. The hub is built into the keyboard. I have the USB mouse and a storage device both connected into the keyboard.

I can access the hard drive for a few short bursts, like ls, and the mouse continues to work. But when I copy files to/from the device, or do a du --total, the mouse no longer works until I unplug and replug in the mouse.

There is no logged activity until I unplug the mouse.

So it appears that the low-speed mouse disappears once heavy traffic occurs at full-speed. Is this normal?

This notebook only has one physical USB port to connect everything. I don't currently have 2.6 setup on a computer with two USB ports to test with a separate low-speed connection from the mouse to the computer.

This is 2.6.0-test3.
