From 75ba9e7ff5c9b6cf775f6968e4b362e38c8e325a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 14:12:00 -0800 Subject: Documentation: Update stable address commit 2eb7f204db51969ea558802a6601d79c2fb273b9 upstream. The Japanese/Korean/Chinese versions still need updating. Also, the stable kernel 2.6.x.y descriptions are out of date and should be updated as well.

The documentation for usbmon is out of date; the usbfs "devices" file now exists in /sys/kernel/debug/usb rather than /proc/bus/usb. This patch (as1505) updates the documentation accordingly, and also mentions that the necessary information can be found by running lsusb.
