I added this line to, /etc/fstab,
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0

The output of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices, is,

T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2
B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0

S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub
S: SerialNumber=e400
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=255ms


The output of, sane-find-scanner -v , is,

... failed to open (Invalid argument)

for all /dev/scanner??

BTW, the output of /proc/bus/usb/drivers is,
usbdevfs
hub
96-111: hiddev
hid

How can I verify that the kernel is configured for USB suport, and that 
the devices are mounted?

If not, what do I need to do, to make it so?

Again thank you for your patience, I'll get my Mustek scanner working 
yet - I'm determined to do so!
