  • In addition to above post,

    USB spec regulates that root hub (ie. PC USB port) and self-powered hub should supply five unit load (500 mA). Just bus-powered hub is limited to one unit load (100mA). Therefore, above accident occurs just on bus-powered hub.

    Hub answers to host about its power supply status with GetStatus( DEVICE ) request from the host. But most of hubs on the market always answer to the inquiry as self-powered, even when it is actually bus-powered. Just hubs with "USB logo" obey the rule. Therefore, above situation doesn't occur so often in the real world.

    In this reason, a custom device driver is rarely made to solve above problem.
    Manufacturers of high-power devices just write to their user's manual as follows,
    when user sees power-supply overflow warning dialog, connect the device to self-powered hub.
