   It's the same in all other platforms, afaik. I chose the think "Oh,
they are probably just kidding!", and enabled it anyway. :-)

   Silly jokes aside, I wanted to see if I could use my card reader, and
enabling ehci does let me access it. But the problem I was having (under
3.0) was that I could only use it for smaller writes. If I tried to
"push it" (like dd if=3D/dev/zero ...) it would cause the machine to lock=
 up.
