cat /proc/bus/usb/devices don't list my card

According to a http://www.pharscape.org/index.php?o...ask=view&id=28
I got
linux:~ # cardctl status
Socket 0:
3.3V CardBus card
function 0: [ready]
Socket 1:
no card

linux:~ # cardctl config
Socket 0:
Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V
interface type is "cardbus"
irq 11 [exclusive] [level]
function 0:
Socket 1:
not configured

And the next test:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
didn't result with the:
P: Vendor=0af0 ProdID=5000 Rev= 0.00
S: Manufacturer=Vodafone
In fact. cat /proc/bus/usb/devices didn't result any changes in a list.

It explains that:
If USB support is enabled on your system the V3G card will be recognised immediately by Linux. If it is not recognised then your kernel may be too old or it has not been compiled with USB support.

I try it with the Knoppix 5.0.1 installed on my laptop, so how to check is the USB support is setup correctly ?


p.s.
My card has a serial number which starts with CL and my Vodafone card it looks like on a picture on http://portal.wikinerds.org/vodafone...to-suse-gentoo

my lspci looks like this, after I changed the etc/modules.conf :

options usbserial vendor=0xaf0 product=0x5000
post-install usbcore modprobe usbserial
