Man, that doesn't seem likely.  A USB hub is a pretty dumb piece of
equipment as I understand it.  For the price of 'em (under $10 CDN
around here) I'd try another one - are you sure it's not an
intermittant failure and it just happened to work when you had the
live cd on?  Or a cable or other device hooked into the hub isn't the
issue?  I have seen bad devices hang an entire USB port/chain
intermittantly.
