Recompiled my 2.4.17 kernel with proc usb fs support and installed

See log below :

tux3:~/canon# gphoto2 -p 33-34 (images taken in the office)

Status: Initializing 'Canon PowerShot A20'...
Status: Listing files in '/'...
Status: Detected a Powershot A20
Files in /:
Status: Getting 'IMG_0194.JPG' from folder '/'...
