kernel 2.6.15-12 and /proc/bus/usb/devices

[Joao Pedro Clemente]

Thank you Loic

Ok, so that explains whi lsusb works... but was there a reason for
/proc/bus/usb/devices dissapearance? Was this due to a kernel change, or
was caused by some option on last ubuntu's kernel compile?
If this was caused by the latter, maybe it should be reverted because of
the impact on apps that read /proc/bus/usb/devices?

My EUR 0.02 :-p
