that's a good guess, but my LaCie is on AC

Apple sold me a Belkin 4 port USB hub to go with my AE/n

I have an HP 3030 all in one
and the LaCie 250 on the hub

I could try plugging the LaCie into the single USB port on the AE/n ,  
but if I can't use it with a hub, it defeats the purpose (as advertised)

I have to think Apple is aware of the disconnect and search issues  
and will be addressing them.

I'll post a bug to Radar -- but I was hoping to hear from some on  
this list using the new AE/n in a similarly simple setup before I bug  
the Apple developers.
