[NCLUG] USB Test?

[mbutcher]

/proc/bus/usb/devices will tell you what USB devices are registered. The file 
format is explained in the kernel docs (/Documentation/usb). There is a 
program called 'usbview' that presents the data in a more intuitive fashion.

Also, http://www.linux-usb.org is a fantastic site. They have a compatability 
list of all known compatible devices, and they have setup instructions for a 
number of specific devices.
