I'm a bit late to this discussion, but has anyone mentioned:
http://www.linux-usb.org/
The FAQ is quite useful, and there's also the 'Linux USB sub-system' document:
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html
especially Chapter 2.
If Sarah is using the standard Libranet kernel, I doubt she needs a
