Proc files are not always on the system. As far as I know you have to chose in the Kernl-Configuration. And second of all I had some problem with a debian distrubotion. I dont know for what reason there was no USB given in the /proc/... Files. But lspci did found it. And the Kernel was correctly configurated. I didnt solved that problem. i just installed Kubuntu and everybody was happy. For that reason I dont trust /proc files anymore.

Lspci do find other Hardware as well. Like USB, Ethernet, ISA, Firewire...
