Another thing maybe you can clarify for me: Suppose that my camera supports a USB mass storage interface as well as a camera (PTP?) interface. Is it the case that only one driver at a time, either mass-storage or ptp, is allowed to bind to the camera (i.e., /proc/bus/usb/001/005) ? Probably true,

Hey guys, I've got a usb camera (Kodak DX6490). I'm starting to suspect from various tinkering I've done (in Knoppix, FC3, and Sarge) that the kernel can't find a module to associate with the camera, and that's causing my problems. In 2.6/Sarge... - How does the kernel know which driver to use
