Hi, You might want to try the 2.6 version of the ohci controller driver, (ohci-hcd) a backport of it can be found at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=105292305200498&w=2 The 2.4 version of ohci (usb-ohci) is not stable and no one want's to fix it, the ohic-hcd backport has been working well for me with my dial-up usb modem, hope this helps.
