That's only a text list with the newest devices/ID listed, but as Florian
already pointed you, it has nothing to do with detection or driver
installation, I guess that task belongs to the kernel.
Dotan, it would be better if you start from scratch :-)
What kind of device have you attached to the USB port? Is it working? Is
it detected? You can plug it, power on and type "dmesg".
