	I just tried a "lkdload uscanner" on my ThinkPad running 5.4 
	and got 

	kldload: can't load uscanner: File exists

	In the USB section in /boot/loader.conf, everything was 
	set to NO.  Which of these options should I switch to YES.
	---This goes for my other FBSD servers too.  I've never 
	used anything usb so I'll check my KERNEL config files too.

	All my hardware is fairly standard.  Intel, HP, whatever 
	ThinkPad has, and whatever's on the USB 2.0 m'board on my
	just-shipped AMD system.  I stick to the Keep It Simple Sir
	philosophy, so if  I need to buy a USB board I well.  Meanwhile,
	if you have any feedback about the /boot/loader.conf and 
	KERNEL config files, I'd like to hear them.

	thanks!

	gary
