Hm, in my system at home I added a network card and consequently the two
USB adapters went onto one IRQ. It only works about 30% of the time, the
rest of the time I get ohci_timeout as well (also a FireLink
controller).

I have not the foggiest why this is. But I'll have a play someday soon
to see whether I can fix it.
