It hit the spot for me, pretty much. Here are my updated versions; debug stuff removed (for some reason it wedged), added support for some PCMCIA and MMC special cases, and a bit of doc. So it's worked for me hotplugging USB, PCMCIA [1], and MMC ... though I've not yet tried hooking in code to mount those removable flash cards. The PCMCIA hotplug is using the patches, now sitting in the MM tree, that will likely be merged early in 2.6.13 ... if they provided the "modalias" attribute, then "coldplug" wouldn't even need that helper program from the new pcmcia utils package [2]. I think we need a stripped down and turnkey hotplug-and-udev setup starting real soon now, at least for use with embedded hardware, and these scripts could be a reasonable start. - Dave [1] Though CompactFlash memory cards wouldn't bind properly through the IDE stack. Seems to be an issue with the new PCMCIA hotplug stuff, since non-memory CF cards worked fine.
