Yes. If your device is working properly, it will be detected and
enumerated by the USB subsystem. If any driver registered with the
device's vendor and product id exist, its probe function(a callback
routine) will be called and the rest is upto you.

thanks for the valuable information.I ll soon have to write my driver for sure.

I think Linux Device Drivers, 3ed would be a good reference.
yes it is indeed, thanks to greg for writing the chapter on USB drivers :)
