I guess this refers to me. I did start the thread in which 2007-03/msg01324 appeares. My interest (actually that of a friend who does not have my level of Linux knowledge and expertise whom I'd persuaded to switch from Windows) was in getting a 10.2-compatible kernel that had the USBDEVFS enabled. That's not possible as a loadable module, you have to configure the kernel to have it in the resident kernel code. Which reminds me... We were told that an updated kernel with the USB device filesystem reenabled would be made available through the usual update mechanisms.
