[ale] USB is killing me

[Christopher Fowler]

I did notice the following difference in dmesg

2.4.20-20.9:
input0: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [05e3:1205] on usb1:2.0
2.4.22:
: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [05e3:1205] on usb1:2.0

Somewhow 2.4.20-20.9 is linking the Mouse with input.  I'm
starting to think this may be part of RH's kernel mods.
