Hi Try the lspci command as root and look for a line that says "usb 2.0 controller." Most onboard controllers on modern motherboards appear through the linux PCI system. If you only see "usb controller" or "usb 1.1 controller," then you don't have it. HTH At 11:04 6/9/2003 -0400, you wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >Hi all.
