Quite a lot of the USB support isn't that old so a fairly recent kernel is necessary anyway. E.g. with the kernel scanner module, 2.4.12 or newer is necessary to get support for control messages. Checking for vendor and product ids works since 2.4.8 if I remember correctly. 2.2.20 is from 02-Nov-2001, 2.4.2 from 22-Feb-2001, so it's not that surprising that 2.2.20 has better USB support :-) Bye, Henning
