I am going to change the title and the description slightly. Al Buntu, which mainboard do you have?
** Summary changed: - my usb devices only work if I do "sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd" + USB devices do not work with nforce 2 based motherboards ** Description changed: - the ehci_hcd is loaded every time the computer starts. This is normal - and necessary for using usb 2.0 highspeed. But not all usb compontents - work if this module has been loaded. + USB devices do not work with nforce 2 based motherboards. + + A solution is to unmodprobe ehci_hcd, which is loaded every time the + computer starts. This is normal and necessary for using usb 2.0 + highspeed.
