LinuxQuestions.org - where is /proc/bus/usb/devices????

a critical problem has come to my attention. For some reason, there is no /proc/bus/usb/devices. in fact,
[CODE]bash# lsusb
bash#/CODE]
does exactly what it looks like: returns NOTHING.

Code:

bash-3.00# cd /proc/bus/usb

bash-3.00# ls

bash-3.00#

nothing there!!! The funny thing is that most of my USB devices run just fine. All this time, my usb pendrive recognizes under /dev/sda1 and my joypad and joystick recognize under /dev/js0. So where is /proc/bus/usb/devices???

here's my lsmod output:

it is obvious that the usb hub is recognized b/c I have the usbcore module running, and I think uhci_hcd is my usb-2.0 module. Can somebody tell me why I do not have a /proc/bus/usb/devices file?? it seems I should since I have usb compiled into my kernel....
