What does /proc/bus/usb/devices say?

If the file doesn't exist, check that the preliminary USB device filesystem
is mounted un /proc/bus/usb:

# cat /etc/mtab | grep usbdevfs

If it isn't there, try and mount it manually:

# mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb

If your system complains about that, make sure usbdevfs is compiled into
your kernel:

# grep CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
