1 You have absolutely nothing in /proc/bus/usb? Or do you have usb loaded
2 but the device is not listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices? If the former, it
3 sounds like you don't have the usb drivers even loaded or you don't have
4 usbdevfs loaded.
5
6 Make sure you have USB compiled in the kernel (or as a module).
7
8 Do you see any USB messages when you do dmesg | grep usb?
9
10 If you have it as a module, make sure you have usbcore loaded, and one of
11 these depending on your hardware: usb-uhci, uhci, or usb-ohci.
12
13 Good luck.
