The modprobe command merely tells the Kernel 'please make sure this module 
(driver in your case) is loaded'.  Once it has been loaded issuing the 
modprobe command again won't have any effect (unless it gets unloaded first, 
which won't necessarily happen immediately that you unplug the first USB at 
which point the driver is no longer needed, although eventually with no 
devices connected the kernel might realize this and throw it out 
automatically).

I don't know for sure, but there has to be a way to tell the driver that a new 
device has been plugged in.  I would normally expect the udev mechanism to do 
that, so you might find the answer by reading the document that Eric pointed 
to.
