The reason it didn't work as expected might have been because the

The wiki page says it will work as far back as 2.6.13. Before then,
"hotplug" was used, but don't ask me how that worked :)
It might be in 2.6.13, but testing on a Debian SPARC Etch with 2.6.18
didn't so it might not have been enabled as standard until later.
That's probably the case. They are quite conservative with new features!
:-) Testing on a SPARC Debian Lenny similarly didn't show /dev/usb etc,
so it's probably architecture-specific. I've not checked an ARM system-
I've got no spare real (i.e. as distinct from Qemu) ARM hardware at the
moment.
