preferred way of installing usb

[Boris Duerner <Marc.Duerner@student.shu.ac.uk>]

Hi,
What is the preferred way of setting up usb in Debian? I suppose you have to 
install the usbmgr, and then specify the host adapter in 
/etc/usbmgr/usbmgr.conf like this(if you have an uhci one):

host usb-uhci

and let the manager do the rest. Is that correct?
How do I get the information to add a deviceline such as this?:

# Perfection 636U , 636Photo [Epson]
vendor 0x04b8 product 0x0101 module scanner

How can I find out which vendor id and product id my device has?

Marc
