What does this really mean ? I found some new files in /sys/firmware: find /sys/firmware/ | grep eject /sys/firmware/acpi/namespace/ACPI/_SB/PCI0/USB7/URTH/UPDK/eject /sys/firmware/acpi/namespace/ACPI/_SB/PCI0/USB0/URTH/UPDK/eject /sys/firmware/acpi/namespace/ACPI/_SB/PCI0/IDE0/SCND/MSTR/eject /sys/firmware/acpi/namespace/ACPI/_SB/PCI0/LPC/EC/BAT1/eject /sys/firmware/acpi/namespace/ACPI/_SB/PCI0/LPC/FDC/FDD0/eject But what can I do with them, and what else is there for hotplug ? Does it support docking stations ?
