Probably a couple of different places. My server here doesn't have 
any USB devices so I can't totally check it out, but try:

cat /proc/bus/usb
cat /proc/devices

and

lsusb                (8)  - list all USB devices
usbmodules           (8)  - List kernel driver modules available for a 
plugged in USB device

lsusb will probably give you exactly what you need, but it should also 
show up under /proc/devices
