[opensuse] quality of usb hubs ?

I've been playing with an Intel Compute Stick which has just one USB port. I've attached a cheap USB-hub to add another 3 ports - one for a USB harddrive, one for the wireless keyboard+mouse and one for a wifi dongle. I tried building a kernel (/usr/src/linux on the usb harddrive) with make -j4, but this led almost immediately to a crash/disconnect/io-errors, so I scaled back to make -j1. I was wondering if I should be worried about the technnical quality of the USB hub? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
