You'll have to provide more information.  I presume you don't really mean
the joysticks break, but rather that Linux won't use them properly.  What
happens when you try?  What messages appear in the system log when you
plug in the joysticks?  What shows up in /proc/bus/usb/devices?

I don't know anything about any particular models of joystick, nor about 
the differences between the two 2.4 UHCI drivers.  Linux 2.6, up until the 
very latest development kernel, is very intolerant of devices that don't 
comply with the USB specification; maybe your joysticks are defective in 
that regard.

There is no usb=tolerant option or any equivalent, but when the 2.6.7 
kernels appear they should accept many deficient devices that 2.6.6 
rejects.
