More APIC woes

I noticed yesterday that the output from /proc/interrupts listed usb and network on the same irq (see 11).

I had hopes of having usb work now that I had switched everything to XT-PIC (noapic). Of course, that would be too easy. I clearly don't understand the full ramifications of turning APIC off, but without it, there is no USB. I can only assume it is receiving no interrupts. At least my network card still works.
