It is a Gateway with an Intel processor.  I found a site that said uhci is 
used by Intel, PIIX4, VIA etc. and ohci by Compaq (this is our other USB 
computer to try next), OPTi, SiS, ALi, etc.

I presume usb.s kernel is for when you also have a scsi card and real scsi 
devices.

I will try the Compaq some time with the USB camera in case it is a 
hardware problem.  With DSL to see if it finds it as ohci.
