I have that same board and have all the USB 2.0 options enabled and don't have any problems. Have you tried a bios update? I noticed my board shipped with an older bios and just updated it for good measure. Could possibly be your problem. But I don't think it has anything to do with drivers since it seems you were having problems before installing the OS, also, I don't have any special drivers installed for the chipset and have no issues either. USB support is native in bios functions and shouldn't require any drivers to operate, and since USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1 it would lead me to believe there is something deeper going on there. I'd start with resetting the bios to defaults and if that doesn't work then I'd flash to the most recent update.
If that doesn't work I'd call Intel and see what they have to say about it. No excuse to have to live with a board where you have to disable USB2 functionality in order to function.
