Yes, but not for a USB stick, for a PCI version, so that could be the
difference

True, I guess ;-)

Mmmm ... I'll maybe try that. My main problem is that it really takes
ages to compile on the G3 :P

It works for a few seconds and then the driver starts to reset the
board. I googled a while ago and it seemed that this chipset was too
buggy and that nobody could figure out how to make it work properly, so
I gave up -- this is not much of a problem since my most common use of
it on the beige G3 is for a printer which has only USB1 anyway.
Thanks !
