PCI to USB Plugin Adaptors in Linux

[John Michael Williams <jwill@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Dell GXpro with no USB hardware and 33 MHz
PCI bus.   Pentium Pro, 200 MHz.

I am running Red Hat 3 on kernel 2.4.21-4.EL.
I know this has USB drivers builtin, because it
is the same release as on other computers with
USB hardware, and their USB ports work well.

I have seen many USB add-on boards advertised as USB
hubs and designed for a PCI bus.  However, they
always say they are for Windows 2000 or XP, etc.
(and/or Mac).   They seem to include specialized
sw drivers.

Will one of these boards work if I plug it in to
my PCI bus?  If not, are there Linux drivers
avaliable somewhere.   Most of the "install USB"
web postings at the Linux project date from years ago,
and I can't tell what actually would be required.
I downloaded usbutils v. 0.11 but it is
the same version as came with my Red Hat release.
