I want to add one more point about this problem. When I try to use lsusb, as mentioned below, I get an error message like so: "unable to initialize libusb: -99". Still, searching for this expression with Google led to no positive result in this particular case insofar as I was able to know. From: John A.

When I install Gentoo Linux-3.13.11-vserver-2.3.6.11 using the very same kernel “.config” file used for linux-3.10.4-vserver-2.3.6.8, I can no longer use lsusb, although it, lsusb, works just fine on the earlier one. I have scratched my head bare trying to figure out what the problem is, but trial-and-error and google have gotten me no closer to a solution.
