Comment 74 for bug 296710

Hi Guys,
is there a kernel I can install which doesn't have these modules compiled in?
I know I can compile my own kernel, but that kinda defeats the object of running ubuntu

my usb2's been broken since intrepid, i've had to unload ehci_hcd and deal with usb1 speeds (and use eSATA for big stuff)

see this linky for details/logs etc:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/cant-get-ehcihcd-to-map-usb2-hdd-with-nforce4-chipset-715835/

however this now doesn't work as there's no module to unload. so I can't use usb storage full stop.
while I have an eSATA drive, most people use usb, so this is going to get very annoying very quickly.

I've got a pci usb card (with a different chipset) but that behaves exactly the same

Please tell me there's a solution, it's 2009 I NEED usb..
