I think hotplug detects new hardware but the place where it looks for the right module is (please correct me if I'm wrong!) e. g. /lib/modules/kernel_version/modules.usbmap It might be interesting 1. what messages you get when plugging the device in 2. whether the vendor and product id are detected correctly (somewhere in /proc) 3. whether there are the right entries for these vendor and product id's in (see above).
