usb controllers

Hello,

I have three USB controllers on my laptop, one on the left side
of the system, one on the right, and one for the base station
which has two usb ports when I dock.  I think the USB controller
for the base station is causing problems on my system and I was
wondering if I could disable just that USB controller while
leaving the other two running.  When I compile USB into the
kernel, I get error messages saying:

"usb0: host controller halted"

about once every two seconds.  If I don't compile USB into the
kernel and instead let usbd automatically load the kernel
module, I get no error messages and my USB mouse works without
any problems on the two USB ports on the laptop.  However, it
doesn't register when I plug it into the USB ports on the media
base.

From dmesg:
uhci0: <Intel 82801CA/CAM (ICH3) USB controller USB-A> port 0x8c80-0x8c9f irq 10 at device 29.0 on pci0

uhub2: (0x24878086) UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered

Any ideas on how to selectively tell the system to start a usb
controller but not to start another?

Thanks,
Tony
