Has this been fixed yet?

I came back to this old email today, and it turns out that
usbhid_probe() already includes the following lines:

	if (intf->cur_altsetting->desc.bInterfaceProtocol ==
			USB_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL_MOUSE)
		hid->type = HID_TYPE_USBMOUSE;

This happens before hid_add_device() is called, so it should already be 
in effect when hid_ignore() runs.

Maybe you can figure out what's wrong given these hints.
