mdev and usb device node creation

And were is the rest of your setup? What matching entries in 
/etc/mdev.conf belong to your concern?

mdev -s scans the sys file system for devices and setup the /dev 
entries. If you want dynamic setup you should use the hotplug feature, 
but the device node handling of both depend on the entries in 
/etc/mdev.conf. So what happens and when, what is wrong in your eyes? 
May be you just need to enter your correct device setup.
