What's the usecase for this?

If the kcm is loaded, you could pot. hook onto \
Solid::DeviceNotifier::deviceAdded(const QString&) but otherwise "some" daemon will \
have to take care of this - the natural (but not portable) choice would be udevd, \
kded would be an alternative. You could then add a post-install script to establish \
an udev or "kdedev" rule by parsing the kcm's service file.

Cheers,
Thomas
