/proc/bus/usb not mounted (fix)

[adrian@cox.rr.com (Adrian Mariano)]

First.  I'm not on this list.  I looked long and hard to find a place to report
bugs in hotplugging and this was the only address I could find.

My problem was that /proc/bus/usb wasn't being mounted.  I examined the 
scripts and identified the problem in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc.  The
following code appears:

        if [ ! -f /proc/bus/usb/devices ]; then
            if grep -q "[        ]/proc/bus/usb[         ]" /etc/fstab ; then
                mount /proc/bus/usb
            else
                mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb
            fi
        fi

I had a COMMENTED OUT entry for /proc/bus/usb in my /etc/fstab which
caused the erronous selection of "mount /proc/bus/usb" as the command
to mount.  Perhaps something like 

   if grep -q "^[^#]*[        ]/proc/bus/usb[         ]" /etc/fstab ; then

would fix it, but I didn't think long and hard about this or test it
(I just changed my fstab once I knew what was going on).
