Sorry guys, little bit off topic, but similar...
I have plugged in an NEC 4 port (3 external and 1
internal) into my Qube 2. Here is the dmesg output for
all USB:

VIA Technologies VT83C572 USB Controller (USB serial
bus, revision 0x02) at pci0 dev 9 function 2 not
configured
NEC USB Host Controller (USB serial bus, interface
0x10, revision 0x44) at pci0 dev 10 function 0 not
configured
NEC USB Host Controller (USB serial bus, interface
0x20, revision 0x05) at pci0 dev 10 function 1 not
configured

Obviously the first one (VIA Technologies VT83C572) is
the host controller on the motherbord.

I have tried different combinations of additions to
the kernel for USB and that was before the fix for the
freeze I reported before. Some of them worked well,
but after a while the kernel freezes and I am forced
to move back to the standard kernel, coming with the
distro.

Was I doing something wrong? I even added the minimum
-- only a host controller and storage devices, which
was enough for my needs.

I can try to give you details later if you need
them... and if I was able to dig them out from some
archive...
