  Hmm, it's not showing ehci at all. According to the docs the controller in
the
motherboard *is* usb 2.0, and the drive itself shows up as 2.0 if attached
to another
(windows) system.

  Andrew: pciconf shows the controller as uhci@, not as none@

  So.. if it's misdetected, would it be remotely sane to try compiling sans
e/ohci and
just have the ehci driver there, or are they codependant ?

  Thanks for the replies, folks.

  If this controller is not supported I'll have to stamp my feet and look
annoyed.
