Hi,

Worked without any problems on my U10. That includes USB2.0 :) 
Haven't tried firewire yet but I'm soon gonna. Modules load without problem.

I'm just using some dirt cheap USB controler. Don't even remember the brand. 
First one I tried (a combined USB2.0 Firewire card) failed to be seen on the 
pci bus completely. Worked in a (normal) PC though. With the one I'm using 
now I was just lucky i guess... My advice: try another one?

Good Luck!
