[openbeos] device driver question

Hi,

if i understand it correctly i have to perform a hardware check in 
init_hardware so that the system knows
if it should load the driver. if there are devices, it loads the driver and 
calls publish_devices.

now assume that the mouse was not plugged in at boot time (no devices. 
init_hardware fails),
i see this and i plug it in after boot time.
how can i let the system know that it should try to init_hardware and load the 
driver?

i could manually remove the driver and drop it again in the /bin folder, but 
that is soooo ugly.
there has to be some way to do this right?

kind regards,
    Bruno
