Greetings: Can't answer your query completely only to say that
Slackware 9.0 and 9.1, the default bare.i kernel, automatically sets
up support for two USB channels and automatically installs the
necessary modules to implement USB; as far as my lone USB device, a
flash drive... All three machines have MB's that support USB or
course.
Compare this to trying to get that drive working with Win98FE and
Win95USB.. Even Win98SE needs a special driver and finally, after a
few week, the vendor put a driver on their Web Site so that Win98FE
now supports the drive.. Odd, to me, that a device made for Windows
took so long to implement, whereas Linux, in my case, found it right
out of the box, and it worked like a charm... <grin>
I bought another vendors so called pen drive and couldn't get it to
work, either automatically or frustration, with Linux.. Ringing the
vendors tech support they said it can't work with Linux.. Go figure.
HTH a wee bit.
