Apparently, the standard Linux USB drivers do not work with Tyan S2895 in my case.
In this case I added an Adaptec PCI->USB+ieee1394 card and it worked fine.
Do you mean the Adaptec DuoConnect? http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/usb/combo/AUA-3020/ Adaptec doesn't mention Linux support but one reviewer on http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000062STR/103-6026781-6055802?redirect=tru... writes it works OK. I'm considering buying it for my home computer. The possibility of having USB 2.0 on an older computer which has a poorly functioning USB 1.1 sounds good.
There is certainly a problem between the linux driver and the nvidia chipset, have a look at the hardware compatibility list.
I haven't found anything on http://hardwaredb.suse.de/ . It is supposed to list components that work. Is there any other useful hardware compatibility list?
