USB Hub Not Working!!

Although all the peripherals on my machine are working fine, I would like to eliminate the need to go behind my computer to plug and unplug stuff. I went out and bought me a D-Link DSB-H4 4 port USB hub, the installation instructions seem simple enough, but I can’t get the thing to work. I have to be doing something wrong.

Should I re-install my hardware to this device, or should I be able to just plug the thing into one of my computer’s USB ports and plug my hardware devices to its downports. I hope this make sense to you because I’m completely aggravated.

Thanks again,

Oh, man...I hate to tell you this, but I put that same hub on my system hooked all my peripherals to it and they all worked fine...

Might be differences in versions of linux installed. The older kernels don't support USB devices very well.
