usb vs. drivers

[Christian Convey <conveycj@npt.nuwc.navy.mil>]

Hey guys,

I've got a usb camera (Kodak DX6490). I'm starting to suspect from 
various tinkering I've done (in Knoppix, FC3, and Sarge) that the kernel 
can't find a module to associate with the camera, and that's causing my 
problems.

In 2.6/Sarge...
- How does the kernel know which driver to use for a USB device I plug in?

- What's the easiest reliable way of knowing whether or not the kernel 
managed to bind a driver to a USB device I plug in?

Thanks,
Christian
