Hmm - as mentioned it's included in SuSE 6.3 which uses 2.2.13 and I see
that there are some drivers in 2.2.10, but none in 2.2.1. These are the
only kernel sources I have around, so somewhere between 2.2.2 and 2.2.10
usb support seems to have made its way into the stable kernel. And that
2.2.10 is NOT from SuSE - it was fresh from kernel.org or a
mirror.
