When plugging in a webcam, mdev will not load the webcam driver by
default. The linux kernel kindly provide you with a module alias, and
modprobe support loading modules from aliases - i made hotplugging work

Long time since i tested it (proably 2.6.16/18 something) and i cant
remember i have ever seen any documentation about the usb stuff in /sys.
I used the try-and-fail method to make it work.

I started with a mdev.conf i found somwhere (probably tinderbox)
I actually think they never worked for me either. IIRC i checked the bb
source and wondered if the links were supposed to work at all. I for got
to remove them (or was too lazy)
