Do any of the people who say they have it working say which kernel they
have if so do they say what they have enabled under the USB tree ( knowing
how much stuff is under the USB tree in make menuconfig ) .. 

not using USB that much im wondering if sane looks at the running kernel
for support as this is the case for things like scsi tape drives you get
unsupported device when using mt and or mtx..
