I have one, and I found that problems with it not working during bootup were related to its large power draw. It's been working fine for me since I plugged it into a powered usb hub. YMMV.

Thanks, that makes sense. I remember the original model m's were real power hogs, to the point that USB->PS/2 converters rarely worked with them.

Now I wonder if they're just using the original circuit with a tacked on converter... might have to open it up to check.
