According to
http://www.dlink.com/products/usb/dsb500/SpecsTable.htm
it is a UHCI USB controller.
Both UHCI and OHCI USB controllers are supported, and I can say that I
have a UHCI controller that I am using right now.
D-Link's networking hardware (NICs and the switch I have) are good,
and I certainly hope they didn't do anything dumb to make this USB
controller not work.
I just downloaded the driver from their site (win98 and win2k only)
but I see the file "VIAUSB.SYS" in the zip file. I bet this card is
based on a VIA chip.
