I love lsusb. For the brief time that I used Windows, I longed for a
tool like this so I could search for drivers because it gave the
vendor name (and in many cases the device name) rather than Windows'
verbose 'Unknown Device'.

On a somewhat-related tangent, if I had a device name from lsusb, how
would I (offline preferred) find the name of the correct kernel module
to modprobe?
