You mean 2.6.12. 2.6.13 doesn't exist yet. > I've been trying to find out where (in the kernel) could be the list > of devices that a driver wants to handle.... all I found was that that > list eventually get's publicized in /lib/modules/.../modules.usbmap by > depmod, That's right. > but I'm still buffled as to where that info originates... must > be somewhere in the source tree or in some config files. In the source code. For USB Mass Storage devices it comes from the source file drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h. > What I'm actually working with here is the Sigma SD10 digital SLR.

That means it is vendor-specific. The camera might still use a standard protocol, or it might not -- vendors can do whatever they like. > Given the report in > http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html, is it possible > that this is still a usb_storage device?

As of 2.6.12-git10 the camera isn't listed. And you won't be able to add an entry for the camera yourself unless you know (or can guess) how it operates.
