That one is supposed to have worked ... it's not exactly gibberish
fyi, it translates as:
usb:v045Ep0040d0300
usb device
vendor 045E (Microsoft)
product 0040 (wheel mouse optical)
device version 3.00
dc00dsc00dp00
device class, subclass, protocol all zero ("use the interface")
ic03isc01ip02
interface class 3 (HID)
interface subclass 01 (boot interface)
interface protocol 02 (mouse)
Did you have "hid" built as a module?
Notice by the way that "modinfo usbhid.ko" gives
filename: usbhid.ko
license: GPL
description: USB HID core driver
author: Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik
parm: mousepoll:Polling interval of mice
parmtype: mousepoll:uint
alias: usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic03isc*ip*
depends: usbcore
vermagic: 2.6.16-rc4-amd64 preempt gcc-3.3
See that "alias" entry? Everything except "interface class 03" is a
wildcard, meaning it doesn't matter. Current versions of "modprobe"
have a little alias interpreter using /lib/modules/.../modules.alias
which should have an entry corresponding to that "alias:" entry.
That entry is built by "depmod -a" as I recall.
