If you get a message such as:
/var/log/messages 476 41:Jun 23 17:35:32 rhat kernel: usb.c: USB device
2 (vend/prod 0xa5c/0x2033) is not claimed by any active driver.
Then you have a problem with the hotplug scripts.
When a usb device is plugged in, the hotplug (/etc/hotplug/usb.agent) is
run. /etc/hotplub/usb.agent and /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions have a
switch to turn on debugging at the top of the script. The scripts first
look for a kernel module that will support the device, and then start
looking at text files called usermaps for the correct device id.
If you have /etc/hotplug/usb/bluefw installed then bluefw is installed
but the scripts aren't working. On Redhat 7.3 I had a problem with not
having usbdevfs enabled (and therefore no /proc/bus/usb support). On
Redhat 9.0 I had a problem in that /etc/hotplug/usb/bluefw.usermap
wasn't being looked at and I had to do a:
cat /etc/hotplug/usb/bluefw.usermap >> /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap
