That's funny. My rtl8139 LinkSys network adapter works great on my SiS OHCI-based USB bus (Shuttle ss40g). However, I can't get my mouse to work -- I have to plug it in to the UHCI-served plugs. This is on 2.4.20pre2.
Spooky stuff. It would be nice if these problems were deterministic. Tell me if you want me to run any checks on my (hopefully very similar) setup.
