If you add it, then any further API changes to the USB or other parts of
the kernel will cause those changes to be made for your driver too.
This saves a lot in maintainance costs and time.
Also, this gets your driver into all of the Linux distros, which will
save you time and trouble in getting the driver to your users.
Just send me a patch against the latest 2.4 and 2.5 kernels and I'll
take a look at it. Please CC the linux-usb-devel mailing list too, so
the people there can look your code over.

Hm, don't know why that would happen, do you have the latest version of
the hotplug scripts from linux-hotplug.sf.net?
