Only the one of 4 USB ports is USB 2.0 - one farthest away from the RJ45 
socket (it's EHCI). The rest are plain USB 1.1 UHCI ports. On my machine the 
ehci-hcd module reports one controller with 6 ports hub, but only one of them 
is physically present on the backside of the machine (other are purely 
virtual). Uhci-hcd (usb-uhci in 2.4) says, that there are 3 UHCI controllers, 
each of them having 2 ports (and only one physically present per controller). 
So in total, Acer TM242 has 12 USB ports, 4 of them are physically available. 
I don't know, why it is done this way.
