I might be late to this thread given the activity, but I have questions if you don't mind.
-
On plugin while running
journalctl -f
what is the output or relevant errors shown? -
have you checked to see if the driver is loaded?
lsusb -t
will show you what drivers(if any) are recognized and loaded into the kernel and relevant to the usb device. -
what drivers are in-kernel, are they the ones you installed?
lsmod
will show all drivers loaded into the kernel -
after unplug/replug share the output of:
systemctl --failed
