I can confirm this. Everything worked fine with 2.6.17 on Edgy, but with 2.6.20 on Feisty, I can not use any of my usb devices. After demodprobing ehci_hcd, I can use them again.

I have tried this with Feisty on three computers and the problem only appeard on one of them with the following hardware specs: Asus A7N8X-X with NForce 2 chipset.

This is the syslog output when plugging in a USB device having ehci_hcd *loaded* (thus, it does not work)
