OS X suddenly doesn't like USB

[monty77]

Hoping this is fixable but my Mac seems to have developed a sudden hatred for anything USB.

I have a Belkin 7 port powered USB hub with:

Printer
Scanner
WiFi adapter
BT adapter

..connected to it. If I remove the BT or WiFi adapter then reinsert they refuse to power back up and the Mac wont register them until after a reboot - never used to do this before 10.3.9 as far as I can remember.

Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks!

Very wise! Is there any way to roll back? Will Tiger 'fix' this? Or is it fresh install time?

Thanks!

if it is really bugging you do a fresh install or just wait for tiger. i suggest waiting for tiger, as there is no point of doing tow operating system fresh installs in a week!
