rawhide hotplug broken

[Jack Howarth <howarth@bromo.med.uc.edu>]

   In case folks here are unaware, RedHat has been hacking
the hotplug srpm releases here for their rawhide releases
(and I assume their upcoming RH 7.1 release) doing such things
as removing the rc scripts from hotplug. On my linuxppc (running
Linux 2.4.4pre1, glibc 2.2.3 and the rawhide srpms), I find
that RedHat's modified hotplug doesn't work for loading the
usb print module when it sees my Epson 740i printer. Their
previous hotplug-1.9 release did work but RedHat claims this
was broken and loaded all modules blindly.
   I discovered last night that if I installed the latest 
hotplug-2001_02_28 and usbutils-0.7-101 rpms on my machine
that the usb print module was loaded on boot or hotplugging
the Epson 740i printer. I also discovered that I had to have
usbutils installed for the hotplugging to work. Also if I
substituted RedHat's rawhide hotplug-2001_02_14-15 rpm, the
hotplugging no longer worked with or without usbutils.
Perhaps some of the experts here should help out RedHat since
they seem to be a tad confused on how the hotplug stuff should
be set up. Oh, the bugzilla report for this problem is...

Thanks in advance for helping them out with this.
