here has already said that that package was not needed anymore on

After much testing, the conclusion is that there no longer is any
point
for bcm5974 to depend on usbhid or any other external dkms package.
Here
is an excerpt from the git log of the just uploaded version:
commit 9ef004eb41fe5e2b087d61b00e3963fad97e6332

Removed dependency on usbhid
In 2.6.28, the only additional configuration needed is for the new
macbooks using the wellspring3 device. The configuration is
already
upstream, in a stalled commit ac26fca3 which is in hid-core, not
usbhid. Since jaunty comes with hid built in, there is no need or
possibility to use dkms for the configuration, but one must resort
to other methods.

The "other method" could possibly be to specify a hid quirk
on the boot line somehow, or to use some dynamic parameter scheme.
Cheers,
Henrik
