Sorry, i'me not too familiar with the USB architecture. Anyway here is
the relevant lspci entries (note: I did this under my working 2.4.18)

         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
         Memory at cd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
         Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

02:08.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 41) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])
         Subsystem: Unknown device 807d:0035
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16

Not too good beacuse I don't have the option of enabling OHCI :) Are we
still keeping it?
