1 dmesg | grep "usb"

5 usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
6 usb.c: registered new driver hub
7 init_module: prism2_usb.o: 0.1.16-pre7 Loaded
8 init_module: dev_info is: prism2_usb
9 usb.c: registered new driver prism2_usb

11 And no, there is nothing in /proc/bus/usb.
12
13 Modprobing usb-uhci, uhci, or usb-ohci all throw error's and are not
14 inserted.
15 However, usb-core is loaded automatically when I modprobe the prism2
16 driver.

20 You have absolutely nothing in /proc/bus/usb? Or do you have usb
21 loaded
22 but the device is not listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices? If the
23 former, it
24 sounds like you don't have the usb drivers even loaded or you don't
25 have
26 usbdevfs loaded.

28 Make sure you have USB compiled in the kernel (or as a module).
29
30 Do you see any USB messages when you do dmesg | grep usb?
31
32 If you have it as a module, make sure you have usbcore loaded, and
33 one of
34 these depending on your hardware: usb-uhci, uhci, or usb-ohci.
35
36 Good luck.
