It's not quite a simple script because it involves tying several sources of information together. The point of the UNIX device model is to make it irrelevant whether a device is USB or IDE or SCSI or whatever from a programmer's point of view, getting all the info you need would mean tying together info from /sys/, lsusb, and possibly udev as well... Does linux live have udev?

STRUCT 
USB_DEVICE_DR(9) Host-Side Data Types and Macro STRUCT USB_DEVICE_DR(9) NAME
struct_usb_device_driver - identifies USB device driver to usbcore SYNOPSIS
struct usb_device_driver { const char * name; int (* probe) (struct usb_device *udev); void (* disconnect) (struct usb_device *udev); int (* suspend) (struct usb_device *udev, pm_message_t message); int (* resume) (struct usb_device *udev, pm_message_t message); struct usbdrv_wrap drvwrap; unsigned int supports_autosuspend:1; }; MEMBERS
name The driver name should be unique among USB drivers, and should normally be the same as the module name. probe Called to see if the driver is willing to manage a particular device. If it is, probe returns zero and uses dev_set_drvdata to associate driver-specific data with the device. If unwilling to manage the device, return a negative errno value. disconnect Called when the device is no longer accessible, usually because it has been (or is being) disconnected or the driver's module is being unloaded. suspend Called when the device is going to be suspended by the system. resume Called when the device is being resumed by the system. drvwrap Driver-model core structure wrapper. supports_autosuspend if set to 0, the USB core will not allow autosuspend for devices bound to this driver. DESCRIPTION
USB drivers must provide all the fields listed above except drvwrap. COPYRIGHT
