Im having problems with a new USB2.0 PCI card.
 (for use with RH8.0 or 9, Linux kernel 2.4.19 or 2.4.20)

This is a (relatively cheap) two port device, and the manual (such as it is, 
one
page of specs, 5 pages of windows screen dumps), says that
it is an OHCI device.

Elsewhere it says that it is a EHCI device (sigh).

The card is identified as
    "USB 2.0 for VIA Chipset"

Ive rebuilt my kernel with the drivers built as a module,
but when I try to load the ohci with modprobe, I get the following
complaints:

---

[EMAIL PROTECTED] usb]# /sbin/modprobe usb-ohci
/lib/modules/2.4.20-NANO/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o: init_module: No such 
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-NANO/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.20-NANO/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o f
ailed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-NANO/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o: insmod usb-ohci failed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] usb]#

The EHCI driver loads without complaints, but there is no speed increase
during the file transfers...

---

So, the device is usable, but all I get from it is lowspeed connections, and 
the
whole purpose of buying a USB2.0 card was to speed up data transfer to a
USB Disk.

Any thoughts?

Any other info that would help with a diagnosis?

If the answer is that this unit is hopeless, any suggestions for a GOOD
(but relatively cheap) USB2.0 card thats going to work with Linux?
