Bug Description

the device driver does not start automatically when a USB device while the system is running can be inserted.
this problem I had with a canoscan lide 25 scanner and also with a surf stick from Huawei. I command after the:

sudo udevadm trigger

typed everything worked. and I must say that the installation of the huawei stick represented a little more difficult.
I was in the directory lib / udve / rules.d
was detected following file does not use it to create the stick as cd rom but as a modem: 70-usb_modeswitch.rules

I think that this is a bug in udev.

I use 64 bit ubuntu 13:10
