Kernel 2.6.10 and later issues with USB

[Matt Patterson]

I have used both the ali and via based cheapo cards, and they are both 
reasonable, NOT reliable enough though if you have a usb keyboard and 
mouse. They also have the issue that they tend to underpower devices so 
things like ipods that want to charge off of the ports complain. Things 
work well through unpowered hubs though. I am pretty sure any usb card 
you buy will work just fine because they appear to be very well 
supported, but I would probably opt for a better card like an adaptec.
