That's what I said. It's handled by udev
lsmod shows usbcore, pl2303 and usbserial loaded, but I had to manually load ov511 ... the webcam doesn't come active
Not even with all the modules loaded? Do you get any interesting messages in /var/log/messages ?
and at present I can't test the usb serial port. hald and dbus daemons are running. Perhaps HAL is a last minute change to 9.3 as the admin guide doesn't mention it, it still mentions /sbin/hotplug which is not in any of the packages.
hal is secondary. It gets called by udev as a hotplug event
/dev/.udevdb hasn't registered any USB devices.
How about /proc/bus/usb/devices ?
