I agree totally and I thought the same thing so I am running:
kernel-2.4.20.2mdk which *should* do the trick.

So I slurped down 2.4.20 and built that. Result, mouse and edgeport plays

USB be stuff seems dodgy and shaky, and the kernel developers are fixing
and patching as fast as they can, I have found a couple of times now you
really do want the latest and greatest stable kernel if you are dealing
