Jason, I appreciate the advice. The sparse setup on the HP notebook bios has no USB options. When running modconf only the following categories of modules are available: block net fs cdron misc Within the 'misc' modules, only busmouse, msbusmouse, netlink_dev and qpmouse are listed as not installed. I looked at the man pages but could not follow how one could run it in non GUI mode and get the 3 modules you listed. Any advice on runnng modconf to get to the 3 modules you suggested? jcp
Which kernel do you have installed? I don't think the 2.2.20-idepci kernel includes any USB support. If you are running that one, you need to upgrade to either the normal 2.2 kernel (kernel-image-2.2.20-5) or a 2.4 kernel (kernel-image-2.4.18-386 or -586tsc or -686). Or compile your own with USB support included.
