Note:
Unfortunately, according to specification, EHCI can be installed alone
(without companion UHCI or OHCI controller(s)) but it is probably very
rare computer HW configuration.
Try command "lspci" in Linux and search for lines with "USB Controller"
- if You will find EHCI only, You really have "EHCI only" computer.
But You can have some bad BIOS setting (You should enable USB 1.1
controller(s) in BIOS.).
