Put a line like this into the file /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap. The second numeric
argument is the vendor ID, the third is the product ID. The whole thing is
one line. It's probably easier to just copy one line that starts with the
driver name "scanner" and duplicate it, and then modify the vendor and
product IDs. 
scanner              0x0003 0x04b8   0x010f    0x0000       0x0000       0x00         0x00            0x00            0x00            0x00            0x00            0x00000000

Red Hat 8.0 does have hotplug support, as does SuSE 8.x. I would assume
that pretty much all modern Linux distributions also come with hotplug
enabled.
