One place to check is <http://www.linux-usb.org>.

Barring that, I have used a lot of different USB devices with the Linux 2.4
development kernels. All that I have heard is that the release got better.

I have tried:
Hubs, MS Intellimouse Explorer, MS Natural Keyboard Elite, Kodak DC-280
digital camera (via gPhoto), Sandisk SDDR-31 (I think!) compact flash
reader.

There may have been more, but I don't recall. There is a lot of stuff that
just works.
