or note the vendor & product id, get on the net and look at the database,
thats what it is there for.

i mentioned earlier using /proc/bus/usb/devices to find the id's. i
forgot that even simpler is lsusb, which gives this sort of output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ /usr/sbin/lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:2911 Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0813:0001 Mattel, Inc.
