Good, but in the future can you widen your email client's margin settings
to avoid folding of lines that are shorter than ~72 characters? It does
make things harder to read when there's lots of folding.

This is the DSC, right?

This means that usbcore was compiled into your kernel instead of being
built as a separate module.

No.

It should be /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_snoop (this may vary
depending on which version of the kernel you use). And maybe "1" would be
better than "y"; I'm not sure. But basically, yes.
At any rate, when a subsystem has been compiled into the kernel instead of
built as a module, you can set parameters for it on the boot command line.
For instance, you could interactively edit the grub boot parameters when
you start up, and add
usbcore.usbfs_snoop=1
to the end of the line. That would have the desired effect.

Nobody is expected to understand everything about Linux, except possibly
Linus himself!
