Devices connected to the USB bus will not show up here (except from the USB controllers).=20 If you look at the first line for every device, the one with the @ in it, y= ou can see if a driver has attached to that device in question. Devices whose name start with 'none' followed by a number followed by @ do not have a dri= ver installed. Another thing you should look for is which modules are loaded, use the comm= and 'kldstat' for that. =20 Also have a look at the output of the 'dmesg' command. That will show you which devices are being detected and initialized. This will also show you w= hat kind of CPU you have.
