Hi, I successfully put a USB 2.0 PCI card into my PWS 500au. It runs fine in 1.1 mode under kernel 2.4.18. (2.4.20 has support for USB 2.0, but I failed it getting X to work , more specifically my mouse to work). But I am in no urge to upgrade since I have no USB 2.0 devices. I bought some no name card in a shop. The only thing I made sure of was that it is OHCI compatible. The next thing you have to do is to install the hotplug package. And off you go. So far I have connected cameras, memory devices and even a USB CDburner to my alpha. Very nice.
