Really depends on the driver, it could be a really simple process but if the driver is integrated into the kernel then you either would have to upgrade the kernel manually to that version with the driver or try to bring the driver back into your kernel version which often times isn't trivial. I've been using linux since about 1995 and I wouldn't even try that these days. If the driver was available as a standalone tarball/source code it can't hurt to try to build it on your current kernel, but finding it could be tricky. Unlike video drivers, or network drivers, USB storage drivers don't seem too often to be made available as standalone packages for linux in my experience. nate
