   I'm the unnamed user mentioned in readme.txt who "reported success for   
   /APIC and /SMP".  I can't thank Lars enough for his efforts.   
      
   I just put together a system with an Intel mobo/chipset/CPU and it all   
   worked great except for USB.  It has are 6 UHCI (v1.1) and 2 EHCI (v2.0)   
   controllers, and of the 12 USB ports available, only 1 or 2 worked.  I   
   mentioned this to Lars and R�diger Ihle, they discussed it, and in a   
   couple of days, Lars came up with an implementation that fixed the problem.   
      
   I should mention that when I first switched to these drivers, the system   
   hung while executing one of the RUN= statements in config.sys.  I rebooted   
   and haven't had a problem since then.  I shared the package with someone   
   who has OHCI controllers, and he reported that his system also hung before   
   the WPS started.  I asked him to try again in the hope that this is just   
   a one-time occurrence.   
      
   If anyone reading this has USB problems, I'd encourage you to try these   
   updates and report your results.
