sure!
# make xconfig
Click "Code maturity level options".
There you find "Prompt for development and or incomplete code/drivers".
That's where the "experimental" stuff will be enabled.
Say "Y" there and go back to main menu.
Now go to USB support, use your option (y or m) for main USB-support and
say "y" or "m" to "USB Mass Storage support". Now you can choose "HP
CD-Writer 82xx-support"
