[Techtalk] USB hardware question

[Xp0nential Xp0nential]

other then /proc which actually is a very good place to look at stuff @-@
another method would be using dmesg
type   dmesg | more
this is the list of devices detected by the OS while its booting.
now if you notice that your device has a certain name for the system , i.e your mp3 player might be detected as <mp3devicebla>
next time you run dmesg run it this way
dmesg | grep mp3devicebla
replace mp3devicebla by the appropriate label.
I hope i didn't confuse you,

later
