Should have asked on the list sooner! :)

Because usb-uhci is the driver for UHCI USB controllers.  You just told the
kernel that if anyone tries to contact "usb-controller" load usb-uhci.o if it
isn't already loaded.

I've had to do it for other things, not USB.  Possibly your mobo manufacturer
used odd device id/signatures so that kudzu didn't recognize what it was.

Was it?

If you more /proc/pci do you see you USB controller?
