My linux server shows usb drivers upon boot-up.  
Redhat's Website:
This section only applies to those running a 2.4.x series kernel. For those 
running a 2.2.x series kernel skip this section and follow the 2.2.x Kernel USB 
Support section. The 2.4.x series kernels have USB supported natively which 
makes it a bit easier to configure than for the 2.2.x kernel series.
