Why do I have to run modprobe usbhid to connect to my APC UPS?

| Hello. I had to reboot recently after 142 days of uptime nonstop. After the reboots, I noticed my
Debian's apcupsd wasn't connecting and reading my APC UPS via a USB cable. You can see the whole
thread at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/...&forum_id=26961 ...
Others and I found out that we needed to type as root: modprobe usbhid
It worked, but why do I have to do this? Adam thinks that it should run by itself with udev which is
installed. Is there a configuration file or something to run this? Or maybe something broke? I know I
upgrade daily and saw udev replace hotplug during those 142 days of uptime.
Thank you in advance.

No, no one knows. Just add "usbhid" to the bottom of /etc/modules to fix
it permanently.
Do a "man 5 modules" too.

Thanks. I wonder why in the past, it worked. Hmm.
