No.

So, in short, I'm not sure why its not working for you.  It seems that
the kernel doesn't notice device changes, which means that the
USB hub has not sent any information about the change.
Do you have this problem only with the root hub (i.e. the one on
your machine) or further hubs plugged in to the machine?
