any specific reason for not using the generic driver?

i never written a driver for a mass storage device. Can you explain
what do you mean by matching usb-storage spec? what does the mass
storage class driver look for to determine if the device match the
spec? when I use the new_id approach or the bind method, usb-storage
driver does detect the mass storage interface and enable the
interface. What triggers the auto detection of a mass storage device
by the driver?

I just looked at it and for some reason my system does not have this..
I have all the info in the /sys but I can't find the /proc/bus/usb..
Did I miss anything in the config?
