I'm not aware of much documentation for usbtest. Have you looked through www.linux-usb.org? If you figure out how usbtest works well enough to write some docs, they would be a welcome contribution! To be honest, I don't see much point in porting usbtest to 2.4. The host controller drivers in 2.4 don't share the core infrastructure that's present in 2.6, and they each have their own idiosyncrasies and peculiarities. There doesn't seem to be any reason to test them when better drivers are already available in 2.6. If the tests reveal a problem, who'll want to spend the time to fix it? And if you want to use usbtest to test the USB implementation in a peripheral, you might as well use it under 2.6 anyway. That way at least you don't have to worry about the test results being contaminated so much by the odd nature of the host controller drivers.
