strange. both packages as far as I understand is to load/unload modules based on the vendor ID info it sees on /proc/bus/usb. Whether a device is supported or not depends on the kernel modules(either stocked one or download/compiled seperately if available), the userland tools(usbmgr/hotplug) cannot magically support a device.
