Apparently there is no driver for these specific devices. You
may use the 'usbdevs' (or 'usbdevs -v') command to see if the
devices are recognized at all.

This is a message from a Adaptec SCSI driver and very strange
at this place.

For a beginning, please check the output of 'dmesg' to see
if a USB controller (ohci/uhci/ehci) is recognized.
