A mirror of the USB project is at http://www.nv.org/linux/USB/snapshots.html I tried to help a friend compile a new kernel so that his USB mouse would work. We got it to compile without errors. The mouse still doesn't work. The guy working on USB does not write very good english. This is not a criticism, but rather an explaination, of why the instructions were hard to follow. Also, I believe he assumes the person reading the instructions has a good understanding of the linux kernel (which I don't claim to have).
