not sure why you get this. I'll have to go back to the kernel soon...

R5000 (USB productID 0x1fe7) is part of my (still underway) patch :-/
adding "productid=0x1fe7" to your usp.conf will indeed fix it.

note that I've still a few fixes staging and tests needed on my side, even
for HID.
so expect to see a few buggy values, like for battery.temperature.

cheers,
Arnaud
