Some devices like keyboard works fine on a cheap USB hub I bought, but I'm trying to put a USB Modem on the same hub and it fails, but if I put directly to my notebook it works fine.
My findings so far:
lsusb shows my USB modem as "Unknown Manufacturer hub":

When I plug the USB modem I get this from dmesg:

Lots of errors. The usb modem gets recognized by Ubuntu but then immediately "shuts down".
Any tips how to debug this further?
I shouldn't have saved on this one and bought a decent USB Hub.
