NAME
       hubd - USB hub driver

SYNOPSIS
       hub@unit-address

DESCRIPTION
       The  hubd  is a USBA (Solaris USB Architecture) compliant client driver
       that supports USB hubs conforming to the Universal Serial Bus  Specifi‐
       cation 3.0. The hubd driver supports bus-powered and self-powered hubs.
       The driver supports hubs with individual port power, ganged  power  and
       no power switching.

       When a device is attached to a hub port, the hubd driver enumerates the
       device by determining its type and assigning  an	 address  to  it.  For
       multi-configuration  devices,  hubd  sets  the  preferred configuration
       (refer to cfgadm_usb(1M) to select a configuration).  The  hubd	driver
       attaches	 a driver to the device if one is available for the default or
       selected configuration. When the device is disconnected	from  the  hub
       port,  the  hubd	 driver	 offlines  any driver instance attached to the
       device.

DIAGNOSTICS
       In addition to being logged, the following messages may also appear  on
       the system console. Messages are formatted in the following manner:

	 WARNING: <device path> <hubd<instance number>): Message...

       where  <instance	 number>  is  the  instance number of hubd and <device
       path> is the physical path to the device in  /devices  directory.  Mes‐
       sages  from the root hub are displayed with a usb<instance number> pre‐
       fix instead of hub<instance number> as the root hub  is	an  integrated
       part of the host controller.

       Connecting device on port <number> failed.

	   The	driver	failed to enumerate the device connected on port <num‐
	   ber> of hub. If enumeration fails, disconnect and re-connect.

       Use of a USB 1.0 hub behind a high speed port may cause unexpected
       failures.

	   Devices  connected  to a USB 1.0 hub which are in turn connected to
	   an external USB 2.0 hub, may misbehave unexpectedly or suddenly  go
	   offline.  This  is  due to a documented incompatibility between USB
	   1.0 hubs and USB 2.0 hub Transaction Translators. Please  use  only
	   USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 hubs behind high-speed ports.

       Connecting a high speed device to a non-high speed hub (port x) will
       result in a loss of performance. Please connect the device to a high
       speed port to get the maximum performance.

	   USB	2.0  devices  connected	 to  USB 1.0 or 1.1 hubs cannot run at
	   their highest speed, even when the hub is in turn  connected	 to  a
	   high-speed  port.  For  best	 performance,  reconnect without going
	   through a USB 1.0 or 1.1 hub.

       Cannot access <device>. Please reconnect.

	   This hub has been disconnected because  a  device  other  than  the
	   original one has been inserted. The driver informs you of this fact
	   by displaying the name of the original device.

       Port <n> overcurrent.

	   An overcurrent condition was detected. Please remove the device  on
	   this port.

       Devices not identical to the previous one on this port. Please discon‐
       nect and reconnect.

	   Same condition as described above; however in this case, the driver
	   is unable to identify the original device with a name string.

       Hub driver supports max of <n> ports on hub. Hence, using the first
       <number of physical ports> of <n> ports available.

	   The current hub driver supports hubs that have <n> ports or less. A
	   hub	with  more  than <n> ports has been plugged in. Only the first
	   <n> out of the total <number of physical ports> ports are usable.

       Hub global over current condition, please disconnect the devices con‐
       nected to the hub to clear the condition. You may need to re-connect
       the hub if the ports do not work.

	   An overcurrent condition was detected on the hub.  This	 means
	   that	 the aggregate current being drawn by the devices on the down‐
	   stream ports exceeds a preset value. Refer to section  7.2.1.2  and
	   11.13  of  the Universal Serial Bus Specification 2.0. If this mes‐
	   sage continues to  display,	you  may  need	to  remove  downstream
	   devices  to	eliminate the problem. If any port does not work after
	   the overcurrent condition is cleared, re-connect  the  hub  to  re-
	   enable the ports.

       Root hub over current condition, please check your system to clear the
       condition as soon as possible. You may need to reboot the system if the
       root hub does not recover automatically.

	   An  overcurrent  condition was detected on the root hub, indicating
	   that malfunctioning devices on the downstream ports are drawing too
	   much	 current. Please disconnect the problematic downstream devices
	   to eliminate the problem. If the root hub doesn't  work  after  the
	   overcurrent	condition  is cleared, you may need to reboot the sys‐
	   tem.

       The following messages may be logged into the system log. They are for‐
       matted in the following manner:

	 <device path><hubd<instance number>): message...

       Local power has been lost, please disconnect hub.

	   A  USB  self-powered	 hub  has lost external power. All USB devices
	   connected down-stream from this hub will cease to function. Discon‐
	   nect	 the  hub,  plug in the external power-supply and then plug in
	   the hub again.

       Local power has been lost, the hub could draw <x> mA power from the USB
       bus.

	   A  USB  self/bus-powered  hub  has  lost  external  power. Some USB
	   devices connected down-stream from this hub may  cease	    to
	   function. Disconnect the external power-supply and then plug in the
	   hub again.

       Two bus-powered hubs cannot be concatenated.

	   A bus-powered hub was connected to a bus powered hub	 port.	Please
	   remove this bus-powered hub and connect it to a self-powered hub or
	   a root hub port.

       Configuration <n> for device <device> at port <m> exceeds power avail‐
       able for this port. Please re-insert your device into another hub port
       which has enough power.

	   The device requires more power than is available on this port.

       Port <n> in over current condition, please check the attached device to
       clear the condition. The system will try to recover the port, but if
       not successful, you need to re-connect the hub or reboot the system to
       bring the port back to work.

	   An  overcurrent  condition was detected on port <n>. This means the
	   device connected to the port is drawing more current than  the  hub
	   can supply. If this message continues to display, please disconnect
	   the device to eliminate the problem. If the port doesn't work after
	   the	overcurrent condition is cleared, please re-connect the hub or
	   reboot the system to enable the port again.

       Port <n> fails to configure its link partner, please check the attached
       device to clear the condition. The system will try to recover the port,
       but if not successful, you need to re-connect the device or try another
       port connect.

	   The	port  configuration failed. The reason might be that two down‐
	   stream only capable ports are connected to each  other  or  if  the
	   link configuration could not be completed.
