Thanks. A good idea and it worked. I had never considered downloading
anything from Sid but checking the Debian web page I found Sarge already
had all of the required support packages so I downloaded the gzipped
kernel-source-2.6.8. Running make oldconfig and make menuconfig
revealed additional support for usb devices and the compile went smooth
as silk. I had to suffer one more system hang shutting down from the
2.6.8 kernel but then booting and shutting down with the 2.6.11 kernel
worked flawlessly.
Thanks again and that goes for all the replies. I was feeling lonely
until I received these responses.

P.S. This is the third time I have tried to reply with mutt. The first
two attempts resulted in a child process failure and were postponed. I
don't know how to recover them but if I find them before they are sent I
will delete them. I believe I know what went wrong and if I am correct
this message will be posted.
