We tested a Adaptec AUA-200LP USB 2.0 card in  some  PPC  sytems.  It
worked fine when the devices were already connected at power-on or at
least  when  booting  Linux,  while hot-plug would reliably crash the
kernel. As far as I understand such behaviour is typical of  some  of
the alignment/cache bugs in the Linux kernel's USB code.
