Hangon a minute... that isn't quite right...

there are 4 drivers in the kernel (2.4) for usb, EHCI (for usb 2.0 which we 
will ignore) and OHCI (which is for funny stuff like compaq, macs and crappy
ali boards) and then there are 2 UHCI drivers of which I have had to use the JE
version to make my usb adsl modem work on my epia board before...

Anyhow, you could be onto something here, it could be a case of needing to use
the alternate driver.
