You should install the drivers meant for your specific manufacturer chipset. If you have VIA, download the VIA drivers, and if you have ASMedia, download the ASMedia drivers. Each works only with the chipsets they were intended to work with.

makes sense.  That might explain why my USB ports usually didn't work when I installed the VIA drivers for intel :P
