Both bring up the plugged media notifier when the usb harddrive is plugged in or when I insert a video dvd. One thing I do see though when I plug in the usb harddrive on Precise 12.04 and have the kcontrol usb module open on the desktop, is that sometimes he harddive is shown initially under ohci_hcd, but when I replug it it shows correctly under ehci_hcd.
