I'm not so sure that is the case. I have a 4-port non-powered hub with 
four peripherals permanently connected. Each peripheral has its own 
power supply (printer, scanner, EyeTV, DVD drive). I also have a 7-port 
powered hub that only ever has low-power devices connected (iPod 
shuffle, mouse, various thumb drives) So I'm not so sure it's a power 
issue.

I'm more inclined to believe one my my peripherals is going bad and is 
doing something through the hub that is taking the whole system down, 
requiring an SMC reset. Or maybe one of the hubs itself is bad.

It looks like I will have to do this the long slow hard way by process 
of elimination. Thanks for the help everyone.
