Is lsusb not available in the 2.4 system?

DO NOT DROP the wireless list from the Cc. Doing so converts the exchange back 
to a private one, and I will ignore further messages if you do that. It is also 
better if you bottom post. That way a reader can go through the background material.

The 2.4 driver used its own built-in softmac 802.11 stack. Mac80211 is a 
replacement for it. Although mac80211 has a great deal more functionality, they 
generally do the same things.
