I always check here for starters:

I had a USB flash device that didn't work, but that was a while ago.  I
returned it and got one that was mentioned on the website (above) and
have had no problems since.

I'd recommend some care with cameras.  My Logitech camera uses the pwc
driver which has minor issues with Linux.  Maybe the USB 2.0 devices
fare better.

Later,

Andy
