/proc/bus/usb filesystem output
===============================
-(version 2003.05.30)
+(version 2010.09.13)
The usbfs filesystem for USB devices is traditionally mounted at
/proc/bus/usb. It provides the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, as well as
the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD files.
+In many modern systems the usbfs filsystem isn't used at all. Instead
+USB device nodes are created under /dev/usb/ or someplace similar. The
+"devices" file is available in debugfs, typically as
+/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices.

**NOTE**: If /proc/bus/usb appears empty, and a host controller
driver has been linked, then you need to mount the
