Usb hub still not working

[R33dBull33]

hey guys,

after I bought a usb hub from belkin on that I got my wifi to work with the help of Helder's usb 1.1 workaround (http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=16645)
I thought I should buy one that is marked as working in the wiki.
So I bought the Sweex US012 4 Ports (http://sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title ... 12_4_Ports).
With this one I had the same problem. My edimax wifi dongle stayed lit, my usb Keyboard didn't woked.
I tried the 1.1 workaround and got the wifi working again. But the usb Keyboard didn't work and my Sound solution with the sabrent usb sound card didn't work either.

Can anyone tell me how I can get everything to work? Isn't the Sweex hub working as expected?

Try this. It can't hurt anything, and it has been confirmed to have fixed it for 2 people now.

I had quite some difficulty sourcing a cheap and small 4 port USB hub. The issue is that the Raspberry Pi Zero seems to be quite picky when it comes to USB hubs. It detects the hubs I got earlier fine but as soon as you connect a keyboard via the hub it just does not show up at all (no output in dmesg or lsusb). However when connecting the same hub to my laptop it worked fine. I found a hub based upon the FE1.1s USB hub IC by Terminus Technology Inc that works really well and does not have the keyboard issue. I removed all the USB plugs on the hub to save space and placed one of these connectors in the ext. connector port in the case.

This is the hub I used:

Using this hub (just got another for my second build because its so good): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201065398009 ... EBIDX%3AIT

Very small, no issues with wifi using this usb wifi: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170624317221 ... EBIDX%3AIT

I can use all 4 ports and it works 100%. Teensy, usb sound, wifi and a keyboard. 2 of the ports have power drawn from my powerboost, the other 2 come from the pi. Not sure if that makes a difference.
