Is that a UHCI or OHCI controller?

If you use devfs (I do) then the device file will automagically exist
iff the device exists. (also, '/dev/input/mice' is a file that
outputs all mice interraction simultaneously)
If you want to see if the device is working (IOW the kernel is
configured correctly), put this in your fstab
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
and look under /proc/bus/usb and see if any devices exist.
