I installed kernel headers and kernel source and made symlinks as needed 
(to build) and tried to 'make' rtl8180.o and related modules.

It exited with a lot of warnings and then an error.
INSTALL says this will work with 2.6 and maybe with 2.4 but you will have 
to do a lot of hacking.  The Makefile has separate sections for 2.6 and 
2.4.  I don't know how to hack it.

Has anyone tried Steven's 2.2.26 BL3.40 kernel or 'big kernel' and modules 
(probably usbcore.o usb-uhci.o or usb-ohci.o, scsi_mod.o sd_mod.o and 
usb-storage.o) with USB storage in BL2?  My 2.4.31 USB-storage-capable 
kernel appeared to work in BL3.32 (modules loaded) but the USB memory 
stick was not found by the module, but actually worked in BL2.1.

Does USB-storage need glibc?  I have glibc 2.2.5 in BL2.1.
