It means that it was not attached.  There could be lots of reasons.
Look at the output of 'dmesg' for unconfigured devices.  Use usbdevs and
pcictl (read the man pages first) to see what hardware exists.
Sometimes a driver needs to have an additional id added to the list of
what it matches and claims.
