Sorry, the BL2 kernel does not support USB.  Nor do any of the
kernels in Slackware 7.1.  USB is a relatively new addition to
Linux.  It came in with Slackware 8.0 (kernel 2.2.19).  I suggest 
you replace the BL2 (zimage) with the bare.i kernel (bzimage) 
from Slackware 8.0.  You will also need to get new modules from 
Slackware 8.0 and put them in /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc

Later Slackwares (8.1, 9.0) also do USB and could probably be
used, but they have 2.4 kernels.  I suspect the 2.2.19 kernel 
will be a cleaner replacement for the BL2 kernel (2.2.16).

Cheers,
Steven
