Do you have the same motherboard? > I have an A7V8X-X and the USB support on Linux is a source of frustration. I spend quite some time and can only get it partially working. It seems to be an interrupt sharing problem with the nforce chipset. If I disable most of the internal devices (com, sound, etc), so that I have a dedicated interrupt for each of the 2 USB 1.1 controllers and one for the USB 2.0 controllers, I get 2 ports to work with my card reader and my Zaurus. Unfortunately that doesn't help me, since I need COM1 for my old digital camera. So now I'm back to one USB port and a hub. I have not even tried my APC UPS yet. I heard some rumors, that linux 2.6 should fix that, but I gave up on that, since the nvidia kernel modules didn't compile. In retrospect, I should have rather bought a board with a VIA chipset.
