[plug] USB et 2.2.17

[BillK]

I added an intellieye mouse (I think it said intellimouse explorer on
the box) some time back with no probs.  It came with a ps2/usb adapter
which I am using.  The important point relevant to you is that it was
detected at boot and usb modules were loaded so USB appears to be
supported.  As it worked, I have not looked further into the ps/2-USB
adaptor which is a wrinkle I have never heard of before.  Kernel is
Mandrake 2.2.16-9 The USB modules are:

post-install usb-storage modprobe usbkbd; modprobe keybdev
alias scsi_hostadapter usb-storage
alias usb-interface usb-ohci

I have not fiddled with them as the system is working, these are as
hardware detect entered them - I have no usb keyboard or scssi!
