That doesn't match my experience. Yes, UHCI should be a complete description. But not every manufacturer's UHCI is created equal.
But I've painfully noticed the problem you mention about USB hubs. At least with 2.0. I don't have a working USB 2.0 hub. The problem with USB was that the storage device would randomly lock up after awhile. With older kernels you would be lucky to transfer a few gigabytes. I don't know what the mean time to fail on the newer kernels are. The lockups were so bad that you had to reboot. You couldn't remove the module and reload. -- Allen Brown http://brown.armoredpenguin.com/~abrown > For the most part, as long as the USB controller supports UHCI, EHCI, or > OHCI, Linux support is pretty solid.
