Do you mean modprobe uhci... of course, it hangs too. After insmoding usbcore, it hangs any controller device, with insmod or modprobe. Isn't true that modprobe _uses_ insmod? Wrong ID is just a mistake, but Windows reckons this bus as VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller on PCI 00, device 7 function 2 This is not a new laptop, 2000 or so, that's why I'm curious about it, it seems not to solve my problem... anyway
