/proc/bus/usb is an empty directory.

It doesn't report anything new.

Any suggestions on what to load? I have usbcore, usbkbd, usb-storage,
scsi_mod, and sd_mod loaded. I've included output from lsmod at the
end of this message.

What is udev? A link to docs would be fine. I'd welcome any help
getting this working. :-)

It wasn't loaded. I added it but nothing has changed.

Intel 815EP chipset, I believe. I have an ASUS CUSL2-C motherboard
but I'm having problems finding the specs on the Asus web site. How
can I find this info in /proc? In 2.4 there was /proc/pci but that is
missing in 2.6. I found /proc/bus/pci but it has different information.
