    I bought a USB floppy for my Dell with FC1 installed. It hot
    plugged and worked great.

    Now whenever I boot the machine, shut it down or insert another
    USB device, I get these error messages:

    Feb 25 09:30:50 redwall kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.7-1, assigned address 2

    Any idea how to turn it off?

    Thanks,
