Why do you need to write a kernel driver for a USB scanner? It can all be done in userspace using libusb/usbfs. Anyway, to answer your question, see my papers on how the hotplug subsystem works. Also note that in 2.6, any new device that is created causes a hotplug event to happen. So an event will happen when your device is plugged in. And then another one happens when you create a struct class device. There is lots of example code in the kernel that shows how this all works :) Good luck, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
