hi. i have slackware 9.1 with a custom built 2.6.1 kernel. whilst trying
to set up my usb scanner, i noticed that /proc/bus/usb/devices is
missing. this means that something to do with USB is not compiled into
the kernel, something that was compiled into the slackware 9.1 default
2.4.22 kernel. having searched google and come up empty, i now turn to
you to tell me what needs to be compiled into the kernel for
/proc/bus/usb/devices to exist. there are several things to note.
firstly, the directory /proc/bus/usb exists, just not the devices file.
secondly, the usbcore, ehci_hcd, and the scanner modules are
successfully loaded. thank you in advance.
