Why you want them: e MATE communicates commands to dierent components. It needs
to be aware of any newly added or moved devices so it can recognize them. An error reading
doesn’t mean the system is failing, but that the MATE is looking for a component that has been
moved from one HUB Port to another or has been disconnected completely. e MATE is
trying to account for the system components.
