The /proc/bus/usb device will always be created. However, if you have the
proper usb device drivers loaded, they will then see if they are
interested in the device and take further action, like making it available
as a device. They will not make the /dev entry. But they will allow you to
access the device through one.

After you turn on the camera, what is printed at the end of the output
from dmesg? If a usb driver is interested in the camera (as a disk,
for example) it will print what it does so tha you can view it with dmesg.
(I am off list here as I am doing this from home and I am not subscribed
there.)


I have these drivers loaded to access USB disks:

		scsi_mod
		usb-uhci
		usb-storage

When I turn on my camera, I get this at the end of the listing from dmesg:

  hub.c: new USB device 00:1f.2-1, assigned address 3
  usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x4b0/0x102) is not claimed by any active
		driver.

If yours is acting like a disk, it should go on to say which device it is
assigned to.

On the SxS, check out the section I wrote in the IOMEGA Clik. It is a USB
disk and goes through the same procedure.
