if i disconnect my mouse, nothings in dmesg. but if i disconnect the
hid-usb-hub, the following is in dmesg:
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 01:0a.0-2 address 3

on reconnect you see:
hub.c: new USB device 01:0a.0-2, assigned address 4
input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [MCT Corp. PS/2 - USB Interface Adaptor] on
usb1:4.0
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [MCT Corp. PS/2 - USB Interface Adaptor] on
usb1:4.1
...and strangerwise, it works....but i do not not why.......no idea...so i
hope it will not stop working like it started.

do you have any idea, why it hasn't been working? did my fedora-box need
some holidays?? ;-))
