You don't need to do anything. I'm using a 2.2.20 woody kernel. It was
compiled myself, but the standard debian kernels have nearly everything
(including what I compiled in) as modules. I have a USB Logitech
QuickCam (supported USB-wise, but no drivers camera-wise exist :( ) and
a USB wireless mouse.
In the event 2.2.20 doesn't work, just apt-get install
kernel-image-2.4.18-686.
