To continue here with problems on this compaq v2000 laptop, I put kernel source on a USB disk and plugged it into the v2000. NOTHING IS recognized.
I tried to manually mount the disk and nothing either... I thought USB was well established....
I thought trying to recompile the kernel for realtek support might get my networking going...
I am stuck???

Ha! Ha! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry man, just tossed the cookies there, that statement was just too funny.
[ Insider knowledge: USB was never designed for block devices ]
Anyhoo, understand that USB isn't a set of standards, never was. Although some standards have been built around it for various functionality.
Furthermore, you still have to have an OHCI (1.2/12Mbps) or EHCI (480Mbps) driver for your host. End user devices are up in the air, although most storage devices have come up with simple block mechanisms that are typically followed.

Depends on your chipset. I'd be interested in finding out more.
