    Proc files are not always on the system. As far as I
    know you have to chose in the Kernl-Configuration.
    And second of all I had some problem with a debian
    distrubotion. I dont know for what reason there was no
    USB given in the /proc/... Files. But lspci did found
    it. And the Kernel was correctly configurated. I didnt
    solved that problem. i just installed Kubuntu and
    everybody was happy. For that reason I dont trust
    /proc files anymore.

    Lspci do find other Hardware as well. Like USB,
    Ethernet, ISA, Firewire...
