There is kinda two questions here.

1) To set up modules to autoload on boot you need to put them in your
/etc/modules.conf.  This will tell your system what to load on boot up.

2) To set up modules to autoload when you plug in a device you need to
look in /etc/hotplug.

Now, depending on the device you are trying to plug in, I'm guessing
that no one has entered the USB device id's into the tree that RedHat is
using.  You can find a complete listing for Linux at
http://linux-usb.org but that doesn't mean that it's in RedHat.  (There
was a better site somewhere, but I can't find it, if someone knows the
URL please post it).

How do you find said ids?  The best way is to look in /var/log/messages
as you plug in the device.  You'll see a lot of test scroll by and that
will have your devices in it.  You'll probably also see a message that
it wasn't recognized.

Feel free to e-mail us if you have more questions.

		Have fun,
			Ted
