There is support for USB in 2.2.X, but I it's still very experimental
and the USB config script is disabled in the main script because of
that.  It appears that all USB development has been entirely
concentrated on the 2.3.X kernels, there is a backport of the 2.3.50 usb
driver for 2.2.14 though, requires patching the kernel source tree.  The
backport patch is available via www.linux-usb.org.

If you want to try the USB drivers for 2.2.X, you have to uncomment line
177 in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/config.in, the USB option should then be
available after the Proprietary CDROM driver submenu.  If you're
patching, I'm not sure if the patch will remove the comment in the
config file or not, you might want to check if the option doesn't appear
afterwards.

Good luck getting it to work.
