::raises hand:: Doing it here.  Running Debian unstable, ECS motherboard
with a SIS chipset.  USB specific bits from lspci follow:

00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller
(rev 0f) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
        Subsystem: Elitegroup Computer Systems: Unknown device 1808

        Capabilities: <available only to root>

I'm running kernel 2.6.2 at the moment, homerolled from a kernel.org tarball
*NOT* a deb.  The only USB trouble I have is my Palm Zire 71 and the visor
module seem to dislike each other.  Successful USb devices are:

 - Microsoft Explorer Trackball (yeah, yeah, I know - MS hardware on a linux
   box disturbs me too)
 - HP PSC 2110 printer / scanner / copier
 - Constar external hard drive enclosure (whoever they are)
 - Casio QV-R40 digital camera
 - ECS 5-in-1 card reader (came with the motherboard)

Not quite sure what you mean here, but this hardware has never had anything
but Debian on it so I couldn't say anyway.
