It's all udev and HAL these days! What you want is a bit advanced though, and certainly beyond my Linux abilities. Maybe asking on a dedicated Ubuntu/Debian forum?

Re: ubuntu usb hotplug question
Thanks guys....

Holy crap taking the usb subsystem to the kernel may have its advantages but the distros around are not making full usage out of it....

Found what I want here : Its a bit ott but hell a lot similar than messing with 2.4 modules.
