You may get some tips by monitorying your kernel messages when you
plug / unplug the devices .. open a terminal and use "tail -f
/var/log/messages" to see what's happening.  If you plug / unplug, and
no message appears, then it's a kernel problem.  If the kernel
messages show it's recognized, then it could be a rules problem in
/etc/udev/rules.d/*, so search those files to see if you can find the
problem.  If you post more info, maybe someone here can help, too.
