Hi folks,

my motherboard docs say that it has something called universal serial bus.
Whatever that is. Anyway, enabling the beast on the board yields
pci0:1:2: Intel Corporation, device=0x7020, class=0x0c, subclass=0x03 int d \
irq ?? [no driver assigned]

What is this, is it any good and if so are there any drivers available ?

In the same vein, the specs claim that the built-in lpt port on the board
can do DMA transfers. Unfortunately, the lpt driver does not support such a
thing. (repeats question from above)

Comments ?

Thanks,
	Bernard
