Is it the case that unless there is individual support for a model built into the kernel, it won't be recognised? From this do I deduce that I will be unable to mount my Nikon Coolpix E4300? And thus will need to buy a CF card reader?
Well, a quick web search turns up the claim that your camera is a USB
mass storage device, so at most, the kernel might need a simple device
descriptor added to it. This is a source code change, so you'd have to
rebuild your kernel
Personally, I _prefer_ having a separate CF card reader. The USB ports
on digital Cameras are often non-standard (so you have to use their
custom cable, which can be a pain to replace if you lose or damage it)
and look rather fragile (so I wouldn't want to be constantly plugging
and unplugging it). Also, with a CF reader, you don't need to turn the
camera on to pull pictures out of it
SanDisk makes a nice CF/SM combo reader that works nicely with Linux
(model SDDR-75)

I've not altered source code before-could you tell me if the file I need to alter is
/kernel-source/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h
If so, what protocols should I use? Is this where it gets sticky and complex?
Thanks, Tim
