@Sitsofe Wheeler  - Canon LiDE 60 needs to be blacklisted.  I know,
because I *specifically recompiled* 2.6.20.15 from kernel.org with
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND=n to make it work again AND to make USB work again.
This scanner led me to get into this whole issue.  Otherwise USB just
did not work at all (disks, let alone scanning).  The 60 firmware is
similar to LiDE 2x,3x,4x that others have reported.  Probably the entire
LiDE line should be treated the same.

@Shuttleworth - Just found a good article on the consumer problem manifested 
here.  It relates to my notion that distros should release their own kernels 
more often not instruct users to wait for Happy Hope.  All "Just to get a 
single periphial device working."

Think about this:  Ubuntu could close all bugs *today* with the line,
"will be fixed in a future release."  That's not good long-term support.
I realize Feisty is not LTS but you have the idea.

Thanks for listening.  I chalk up most of these problems to Linus
himself.  With such a wild kernel development model, the distros really
need to spend more time offering alternative kernel builds and kernel
tweaks to fix things that Linus breaks for them.

The whole kernel numbering system is a deception.  Major ABI breakages
happen between minor point releases like 2.6.18 to 2.6.20.  By now the
kernel should have a number like 9.4.0.16.
