USB Device



 I have two new USB devices. One a camera and the other a 
card reader. I have two different installs of Fedora, 
actually 3 including dual boot, but F7 and F8 are in use. 
The new devices are recognized on F8 and not on F7. When 
reviewing the files in /usr/share/hal/ for F8 I find the 
camera defined in one of the files. But cutting to the chase 
here is my question. Is the recognition of a particular 
piece of USB hardware dependent on the kernel or the hal 
and/or hwdata definitions? The reason I ask is that I am 
considering downloading the F8 source for hal and the hwdata 
and compiling them on F7 for my current kernel version. Has 
anyone done this or do you think I'm asking for trouble?
