There is a table that lists the usb ids and tells what module to load.
So if this list is out-of-date, the kernel will not automatically load
the modeles. If I recall, 'update-usbids' might fix that issue. Also,
manufacturers sometimes change the chipset used in devices and thus one
unit may work while a later model may not. Sometimes you can tell by
looking at the version number of the device (version 2, model X,
revision C or something like that).
