Are you asking how to configure USB device support
in Linux?
If so, for what kernel version?
Do you know how to use
make menuconfig
or
make xconfig
?
All of the USB configuration support is listed as
options in menuconfig or xconfig.
Once it is built and loaded (by installing and
booting the new kernel or by loading USB modules),
you enter
mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb
to mount usbdevfs and see /proc/bus/usb/*.
There's a lot of information in the Linux USB Guide.
See http://linuxusbguide.sourceforge.net .

And for this?

You also need to enable general /proc support, and to
