  I compiled a 2.2.15 kernel with USB support, so it's been around
for at least 6 months or so with production kernels, and who
knows how long before that in development kernels.  Mandrake 7.1 
and later come with modular USB support compiled in... Probably Red 
Hat 7.0  too, but I haven't seen it to be sure.
