Wim:

The USB ID, which is coded into the device's hardware (an eeprom in our 
case), tells hotplug (or more recently udev) what module to load.  The 
daemon uses a lookup table to map USB IDs to modules.  The table is built 
by depmod and works by extracting table entries from all modules that 
depmod finds.  If another module is being loaded when your device is 
plugged in, then just about the only way this could be possible is if that 
other module had published table entries to depmod mapping the PVR USB2 
device USB ID to itself.  AFAIK, _nothing_ in the kernel tries to use our 
USB ID.  So, are you sure this is really happening?

Can you send some (dmesg) log snippets that demonstrate this?  (Just 
e-mail me directly if the snippet is lengthy).

Are you still having this problem?
