    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
