I tried that just after the upgrade, and the symptoms where the same with the pre-upgrade kernel version at the time, so I suspect it's not really a kernel problem ... plus the dmeg's correctly recognize a HID device, as the dmesg attatched to my first mail shows ... I suspect bug in udev rules or a bug in hal, but since I don't really know how all this work ... I may post a bug in the udev package for a start ... PS : I forgot to reply to the list, I copy paste the discussion, sorry for that ...
