uhci is a USB driver.  ohci is a Scottish greeting.







Though I'm sure you're read this also. Clear as mud.

OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support
CONFIG_USB_OHCI
  The Open Host Controller Interface is a standard by
  Compaq/Microsoft/National for accessing the USB PC hardware (also
  called USB host controller). If your USB host controller conforms to
  this standard, say Y. The USB host controllers on most non-Intel
  architectures and on several x86 compatibles with non-Intel chipsets
  -- like SiS (aktual 610, 610 and so on) or ALi (ALi IV, ALi V,
  Aladdin Pro..) -- conform to this standard.

UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support
CONFIG_USB_UHCI
  The Universal Host Controller Interface is a standard by Intel for
  accessing the USB hardware in the PC (which is also called the USB
  host controller). If your USB host controller conforms to this
  standard, you may want to say Y, but see below. All recent boards
  with Intel PCI chipsets (like intel 430TX, 440FX, 440LX, 440BX,
  i810, i820) conform to this standard. Also all VIA PCI chipsets
  (like VIA VP2, VP3, MVP3, Apollo Pro, Apollo Pro II or Apollo Pro
  133).
