Yeah, I didn't quite say that manually loading is must necessarily be
the right way. As you say, it should probably get autoloaded. The
question is: where does brltty expects to find usbdevfs? If you tells
us how and what it accesses, maybe we can find out why the module is
not loaded automatically.
