dmesg should be run to check for detection of USB drivers before you
decide to use mknod. With udev on Ubuntu, and on detection of drivers,
the device files are automatically created.

If driver does not get detected, there is no point in creating the
device node with mknod in the first place because the application will
not know what device to talk to.
