I have a desktop machine with an Asus A7V133 motherboard. It's based 
around the VIA KT133A chipset. I tend to have a lot more problems with 
USB devices (under FreeBSD) on these controllers than with, say, my Vaio 
laptop, which purports to be based on the Intel 440 BX chipset (with a 
PIIX4 USB controller).

The latest outrage is that I am doing some work on a USB audio device 
driver to clean it up a bit. It works *perfectly* plugged into the Vaio, 
but when it's plugged into the Asus machine, I get a trap panic the 
instant I try and play anything. I can't diagnose the trap because the 
dump doesn't happen, for unknown reasons.

I'm almost at the point of going out and getting a PCI USB controller 
card for the damn thing.

Is it just me?
