USB-Development has started under Kernel 2.1 and Potato has used 2.2 where it had only rudimentary support. Since Potato CAN run 2.4 Kernels I suggest you, to try 2.4.8 because the 2.4.24/2.4.36.6 will not more work (there was a heavy changement in the Kernel). OK, 2.4.36.6 could work, IF you compile all NEEDED modules INTO the Kernel which mean, you will not have any loadable modules.
