USB Keyboard

Hello all,

I have been using linux-2.6.16.24 for development.
However, when I boot a sustem that uses a Dell USB
keyboard with a hub built into a Dell monitor, there
are continuous keyboard disconnect messages until
I exercise ^S/^Q. Then, everything is fine. I
thought maybe there was a bug that had been fixed
in later versions so I built and installed Linux-2.6.22.1.
The required usbhid.ko doesn't build, even though it
is enabled in ".config."
