No, USB isn't really supported under 2.2.x, or earlier, kernels. At least not in the kernels as they're distributed via kernel.org. You'll have to get the kernel source for 2.2.16 and obtain the backport (from the 2.3.x kernels) of the USB code to 2.2.16. You can find instructions on the Linux USB page: http://www.linux-usb.org On the bright side, having done the above, I haven't had any trouble with my USB modem. Of course there are problems with kernel 2.2.16 but until 2.2.17 is fully released, or you run one of the development kernels, that's your only option for USB support in 2.2.x. Gary
