At least because the kernel does not support hotplugging for the i2c bus, maybe because the hardware does not support it (and it would not be used anyway in most situations). If what you want is actually hardware autodetection and not hotplugging then somebody needs to take the sensors-detect program and make from it something which can be run quickly and non-interactively at boot time. Hotplug currently can only load the drivers for PCI I2C controllers. -- ciao, | Marco | [9403 l'vHPVsWIjjdY] ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
