is it somehow the same for an usb scanner ?
does we have to mount it ?

if i do :
$ sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/usb
i get the mounting point /proc/usb doesn't exists, i should mention that my fstab contains only this line concerning /proc :
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0

i do have also :
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
which i don't know anything about usefullness.


grep usb /proc/mounts

gives nothing too...

/sbin/lsusb  gives :
Unknown line at line 4969
<snip />
Unknown line at line 5004

then the lsusb (version 0.11) seems to be not working well ?

then i've compile another version (usbutils-0.71), installed in /usr/local/sbin/, giving nothing more...
