{sigh}  This has _nothing_ to do with the stability of the code :)

I'd be glad to fix this, if someone sends me a patch.  I recently
accepted just such a patch for my 2.4 USB tree, as it is something that
eventually needs to get done.

And if you do send me such a patch, please test it out on older compiler
versions.  I just finally got the pci hotplug code fixed up after you
sent in a patch "fixing" this issue.

Works for me :)

My modules.conf has the following two lines in it:
	alias usb-controller usb-uhci
	alias usb-controller uhci-hcd

Works just wonderfully for 2.2, 2.4, and 2.5.
