How to add a new USB device to usbmgr/hotplug?

[Stefan Kluth <skluth@mppmu.mpg.de>]

Hello All,

what is the magic in adding a new USB device to the usbmgr/hotplug system
such that it will be detected and the correct drivers loaded?  My example
is a new USB 2.0 flash memory drive which is usbmgr/hotplug don't
recognise, but which works just fine after loading the drivers by hand.

I have woody with a 2.4.17 kernel.

I added to /etc/usbmgr/usbmgr.conf this line:

# a 256MB USB 2 flash drive (Apacer)
vendor 0x1005 product 0xb113 module scsi_mod, sd_mod, usb-storage

but it doesn't work.  From /var/log/daemon.log after inserting the device:

May 15 16:07:59 lapkluth usbmgr[315]: vendor:0x1005 product:0xb113
May 15 16:07:59 lapkluth usbmgr[315]: class:0x8 subclass:0x6 protocol:0x50
May 15 16:07:59 lapkluth usbmgr[315]: USB device isn't matched the
configuration

Any hints anyone?  Cheers, Stefan
