Thanks Praedor and all, I read the page, and I think I'm on the right track now. Here's the relevant stock Mandrake usb sections of the config file in /boot. There is only one difference from what that page says, in that CONFIG_USB=y is configured as a module (m). Should I recompile the kernel and change that, or load the module? Will adding the fstab line or modprobe usb-uhci load the needed module? When I get the camera back, I'll give it a try.
