Cannot use linux code none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs default

Gents;

Googling says to use the subject code to enter the usb bus info which includes drivers and devices.

Pacman -S usbdevfs gives no download...not in sync db.

Pacman -S usbfs gives the same result.

How do I find the drivers for USB 2.0???? Kernel2.6.3

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

I did that.....result same

As reported, the usbfs system is required to mount the /proc/bus/usb and in checking for that system with pacman....it is not in the database.

I have rebooted as well with no change. Still get only devices in the proc file. Cannot determine where the drivers are located.

usb(dev)fs is something built into (or a module in) the kernel, if i am not mistaken.

you can access it via adding a necessary line to your fstab.

none /proc/bus/usb/ usbdevfs 0 0

if this does not work then you will need to install libusb.

(so you know there were several mentions on the line needed in your fstab to access usbfs. so even if you may think your situation is unique perhaps do a search of the forum and google.com/linux first)

Thanks for the reply.

I have googled all day searched all the possibilities and was made aware of the entry required in fstab and executed every form of it that was mentioned in the google references.

I have had libusb since I loaded the kernel.

Since I have performed all the necessary ...mount.. methods and rebooted many times after changing the format as mentioned in all the googles , I have to assume one of two things... my fstab doesn't work correctly on reboot or the drivers I seek are not included in the /proc directory.

The /drivers directory contains uhci only, /root/dev contains ...hid...only and I am looking for usb-storage, ehci, hub and anything elkse related to USB 2.0 to enable usb 2.0 high-speed operation of my usb hdd.

What else can be done?

One question answered will help a whole lot...are the USB 2.0 drivers supposed to be listed in /proc/bus/usb ?
