Well, that's why I said, "wherever your Visor is".  I'm honestly not sure how 
USB really works in Linux, because the only USB device I have isn't 
supported, but under the 2.2.16-17 (RH 6.9's transitional kernel), there's a 
/dev/usb and it found my usb controller on install.  I know you need to 
enable the USB filesystem options under "USB Support" in the xconfig.  I'm 
actually not sure how it works, other than under the new kernel I have a 
/dev/usb.  If you upgrade through RPMs it might not work out that way.  You 
could be better off using source for that. I've always used source for 
upgrading kernels.  It's more time-consuming, but it's worth the effort to 
get the customization.
