There was a time I actually understood the USB subsystem (two years
ago or so). Now all I do is
- use a stock Debian woody kernel (2.4.18-{k7|686}) in my case)
- apt-get install hotplug
and it all works pretty much by itself. With my USB keyboard and mouse
I see
$ /sbin/lsmod | grep usb
usbkbd 2944 0 (unused)
usbmouse 1792 0 (unused)
input 3424 0 [keybdev usbkbd mousedev hid usbmouse]
usb-uhci 21508 0 (unused)
usbcore 49696 1 [usbkbd hid usbmouse usb-uhci]
Cheers!
