As a first measure I would install a new hotplug version from:

http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/

They are just scripts.

Then copy manually the following files from comedilib/etc/hotplug/usb:

cp comedilib-0.7.22/etc/hotplug/usb/usbdux/usbdux /etc/hotplug/usb/
That's the script which issues comedi_config.

You will also need comedi_config in /usr/local/sbin (called from the 
script).

and finally the firmware:
cp comedilib-0.7.22/etc/hotplug/usb/usbdux/usbdux_firmware.hex 
/usr/local/share/usb
