[Bug 1279544] Re: lsusb different device id when using usb hub

[Tormod Volden]

The wrong display of information in lsusb when plugged in a hub is a
known problem fixed in usbutils 013.

Anyway, rest assured that wrong information printed by lsusb has no
effect on the functionality of the device (unless some weird program
would be parsing lsusb output, very unlikely).

Title:
  lsusb different device id when using usb hub

Status in usbutils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
  Release:	13.10
  usbutils:
    Installed : 1:007-2
  ----------------------------
  I was configuring a game controller to work with xboxdrv.
  So I first executed lsusb with the device connected directly on a pc usb port :

  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0810:0003 Personal Communication Systems, Inc. PlayStation Gamepad
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
  Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
  Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
  Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB
  Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

  The controller appears as 'Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0810:0003 Personal
  Communication Systems, Inc. PlayStation Gamepad'

  Then when I execute lsusb whit the device connected through an
  external usb hub :

  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0810:0003 Personal Communication Systems, Inc. Batoh Device / PlayStation 3 Controller
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
  Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
  Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
  Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB
  Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

  The controller appears as 'Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0810:0003 Personal
  Communication Systems, Inc. Batoh Device / PlayStation 3 Controller'

  This last id is the one know by xboxdrv and I was able to configure
  the controller.

  Any idea about this behaviour ?
