I'm no longer sure about the way udev, the kernel and other device management apps work together. I was thinking that the workflow was: * something happens to a device (add, remove, power state change) * the kernel calls /sbin/hotplug * udev is called and does its work (modprobe, rmmod, device node creation/deletion) * all the "interested listeners" (like HAL) are called and are told of what has changed. Now I read of netlink, listening daemons, KEYs... Can someone draft a quick sketch of how kernel hotplug is going to work with the next udev releases? -- Gioele ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
