Does Linux Support USB Devices?
Linux supports a few dozen USB devices at present, and work is underway to develop additional device drivers. There is a Web page devoted to the subject, at http://www.linux-usb.org. There is also LDP documentation, at: Where Is the Linux Stuff on the World Wide Web?. Support for USB version 2.0 was recently added to development kernels, but is not yet available in the 2.4 series.
