Lonnie,

Thank you so much for write the patch for me! It works well with Fedora Core 4. 
Since it added UHCI suspend/resume support, so I guess it should also work with 
Windows XP :-)

Thanks
Xiaoyang

The attached patch is enough to have a device on linux recognized after
usb_add.  However, the device must be attached to the uhci controller's
root hub.  If a device is attached to an emulated usb hub device it will
not be detected.
