  I have some devices that will not run, or are flakey, under uhci_hcd.
I've had to rebuild my kernel with ohci_hcd in the kernel, and uhci_hcd
as a module that does *NOT* autoload.  I run ohci_hcd (USB 1.1) most of
the time.  For big backups to USB2-capable devices, I...

modprobe uhci_hcd
udevstart
< do the backup or whatever >
rmmod uhci_hcd
udevstart

  I know that it looks ugly, but it works.  I think the problem may be
that USB 2 drivers won't work with USB 1.1 hardware.
