I use USB 2.0 under kernel 2.6.8.1 reliably.  It's an onboard VIA 
chipset controller 8235 southbridge.
I have written and read many gigs-of-bytes from a coupe usb->ide 
enclosures.  One is and enermax the other escapes me right now.  I do 
have the usb drivers compiled into the kernel if that makes any difference.
