Device is not listed in /proc/bus/usb/devices



I have been given a USB dongle made by an unknown vendor, and I plugged it
into my laptop, expecting to somehow be able to identify it. I was expecting
an entry to appear in /proc/bus/usb/devices as the dongle is plugged in, but
the file does not change. All I have listed is the host controller:


T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2
B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.18-4-686 uhci_hcd
S: Product=UHCI Host Controller
S: SerialNumber=0000:00:07.2
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 2 Ivl=255ms

Do I need to run something to update or refresh the list, or is the device
broken?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Mark.
