Subject: WLAN USB at boot time not recognized

Hi,

I have some trouble with USB hotplug. I read a lot of information and
documentation available, but can not find out what's going wrong. Maybe some
on this list can shade some light?

My remote system uses a WLAN USB device for network. Everything works fine
if I plug the WLAN USB stick in while the system is up and running. Just if
the stick is already plugged in when the system boots, it does not get
recognized while the hotplug service loads the USB controller modules. lsusb
just after boot (with the stick plugged in) list only the 2 USB controllers,
no device.

Since this system is a remote box I don't want to unplug and replug the WLAN
USB stick everytime after a boot. In addition since the WLAN is the only
network connection of this system, some services do not work.

It's using plain kernel 2.6.7 in a Gentoo environment. The hardware is a
SIS740 chipset and I want to use the internal USB controllers. Hotplug
service gets started in runlevel default.

What's going wrong? Is the hotplug service suppost to recognize USB devices
at boot time? Or can I trigger a plug event in software?

Thanks,   Thomas
