I've made a slight mistake here. UHCI controllers are available on most
motherboards with Intel chipsets, while OHCI can be found on most
non-Intel systems such as Macs and other board makers such as SiS, ALI,

Use lspci to show all the devices Linux detects on your system.  If you
see a USB Controller made by Intel, you have a UHCI controller.  If you
see a controller made by anyone else, most likely it's OHCI.
