Hi Harald, I was sort of expecting a mdev scan to discover and create device nodes for usb. Sounds like I need some rules defined in /etc/mdev.conf. I just have a default one. In the meantime, I have been dynamically adding / removing the usb device nodes triggered off of hotplug events. Seems to be working fine so far.
