This probably means you don't have the usbdevfs mounted. I have a line in 
/etc/fstab like this:
usbdevfs        /proc/bus/usb   usbdevfs        defaults        0       0

I might also like to install the hotplug package, which autoloads modules when 
something is plugged in.

They should hopefully get loaded by hotplug when it starts.
You may need to insmod uhci or similar.
