The order of events now is as follows:

USB buses & hubs registered.
kernel: prism2usb_init: prism2_usb.o: 0.2.1-pre26 Loaded
kernel: prism2usb_init: dev_info is: prism2_usb
kernel: usbcore: registered new driver prism2_usb
kernel: Writing 4096 bytes to ram @0x7e2ffe [etc...]
kernel: linkstatus=CONNECTED

Even with DEBUG=yes set in hotplug.functions, net.agent, usb.agent and
wlan.agent, there are no usb-related hotplug entries in the log at any
stage during boot. I no longer see the slew of usb.agent messages that
occurred after linkstatus=CONNECTED on FC3. I only get hotplug usb
messages in the log if I unplug or plug in a device.

I have plugged in other usb devices a few times since using FC4; this
generally led to a subsequent network hang on FC3, but I'm still
hang-free after 9 days with FC4.

Sounds like a character from the Harry Hill show! Good luck.

Cheers,
