Hi,

I just read that 2.6.11-rc1 does support ACPI hotplug.
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 ?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
Docking station generally includes a PCI bridge, some PCI devices and/or
some PNP devices. Support docking station hotplug isn't so easy. You
must support PCI bridge hotplug (acpiphp possibly can do something, but
it doesn't support bridge hotplug. In addition, the docking bridge in
Thinkpad is very special, it's a transparent bridge. Normal PCI hotplug
can't support it.) and support PNP device hotplug (PNPACPI is designed
to do it, but now it doesn't support hotplug). IBM_ACPI just can do
eject and dock, but can't enumerate devices under the dock.

Thanks,
Shaohua
