hotplugging newbie, please help.

Hi all,
I'm using a Linux Red Hat 7.2, with Kernel 2.4.7-10, and i
tried to just plug in an e-gate USB connector for which i have installed the driver and it is supposed to be a Plug&Play device, however it doesn't, and i didn't do cold plugging, i waited for the system to bootstrap and then i connected, so should i update my kernel?(if that would make it easier), re-install the hotplug rpm('cause i noticed some hotplug files which are mentioned in the man pages are not on my system), or any other suggestions would be most welcome. Thankyou in advance.

Regards,

Sim
