That should work, I remember that it was working on 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 but then they backported the host controller changes from 2.5 which broke the um-usb for 2.4.20 In the 2.5 tree it worked untill about 2.5.39 I used it to test out some flaky drivers also, kaweth.o was Oopsing on me and also for my smart card reader. The host kernel can be any recent version I would suggest applying the host-skas patch as then it is much faster and the host kernel can be run under gdb (or attached to gdb) See for example the debugging page at sourceforge On a host kernel without skas you can use the debug command line option to start a gdb but I haven't tested it that way recently.
