When the device isn't recognized even after you load the kernel driver manually, it means usually that the device isn't supported. No automatic h/w detection problem. A wild guess is that your device isn't USB standard class compliant. In most cases, weird devices provide via vendor-specific definitions although it's compatible with the standard. Just doing some quirk often solves the problem.
