8 Most USB keyboards and mice require *LOWSPEED* USB 1.x support. This
9 is *IN ADDITION TO* USB 2 and/or USB 3 for harddrives/keys/etc. If you
10 have an Intel or VIA chipset, you need UHCI (USB 1.0) support built into
11 your kernel, like so...
12
13 Device Drivers --->
14 [*] USB support --->
15 <*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
16
17 If you have an AMD machine, select OHCI (USB 1.1) support...
18
19 Device Drivers --->
20 [*] USB support --->
21 <*> OHCI HCD support
