Fwd: autoloading module when matching device

Forwarding from developers@ by indication of Hans,

Maybe a devd(8) can do this?

Just to be clear, the keyboard works nicely, but it would be better if
it was detected during the hotplug :-)

Thanks!

Hi Fernando,

There is no such quirk yet. There are only quirks via usbconfig to
prevent attach of ums or ukbd.

However, this is a perfect question for freebsd-usb@freebsd.org . Let's
continue there!
