	Hi Gang, I have Red Hat 7.2 with a 2.4.19 kernel and 32 
megabytes of flash memory card for memory. This is a very small box with 
a single 5 volt power source. This box will go into space as the project 
computer.

	There is also a Kodak digital camera which we want to control 
from the computer via it's USB port. 

	My problem is understanding what kernel drivers are necessary to 
make the USB ALWAYS HOT. The problem is the USB drivers were written at 
the same time the Hotwire drivers were written. In fact the only thing 
hotwire does now is turn on USB ports.

	With 32 meg of memory, I can't support hotwire and USB.

	Correction, the technology used is hotplug, not hotwire. My mind 
was in two places...:-)
