installing 'hotplug' disrupts device management

last night i installed 'hotplug', trying to get a usb wireless device to work.
after, per the installer instructions, rebooting the system, a number of my
devices were not recognized by the system, or similar.
details:
'usbserial' and 'visor' not loaded at boot
/dev/pilot no longer existed, i.e., 'ls /dev/pilot' got 'not found,' so i
couldn't hot sync my pda (dealt with this by fooling around with ttyUSB0/1 as
the device for kpilot and, of course, 'modprobe'ing usbserial and visor)
the driver for my wifi card was no longer loading at boot time (but got card
working doing 'modprobe ath-pci')
possibly the interface to my PDA as modem was hit, but this could have been
due to a coincidental expiration of my USBModem program on the PDA. i haven't
spent any time on this one.
more details:
during install of 'htplug', i saw the message, i think, 'removing udev' and
messages about moving 3-4 kde programs.
when i do hotplug manually i get:
kloro@debian:/etc/init.d$ ./hotplug start

my questions:
why is stuff not loading at boot time?
why does the system not create /dev/pilot when i connect my pda to the pc?
is it possible to see the messages given by apt-get when hotplug was
installed?
thanks in advance,
tom arnall
