This is only the case if you're using a really crappy hub (sadly there are a few, but they're thankfully rare) - most USB 2+ hubs will quite happily work with any speed device from 1.0 onwards, and all of the attached devices will work at the correct speed - plugging a slow device into your hub won't slow all the fast devices down.
Of course, plugging a fast device into a slow hub will result in the fast device running at the speed of the hub (e.g. a USB 2 flash drive plugged into a 1.1 hub will run at 1.1 speeds). Perhaps this is what your book was getting at? |
