hotplug support for USB DSL modems

hotplug support for USB DSL modems

This script automatically starts a network connection when an USB DSL
modem is plugged and initialized.

I do not think it's worth distributing it with udev, but I am posting it
in the hope that other distributions will finally provide decent support
for these devices.

SUBSYSTEM=="atm", RUN+="dsl-modem.agent"


# from the Debian hotplug.functions:
wait_for_file() {
  local file=$1
  local timeout=$2
  [ "$timeout" ] || timeout=120

  local count=$timeout
  while [ $count != 0 ]; do
    [ -e "$file" ] && return 0
    sleep 1
    count=$(($count - 1))
  done

  mesg "$file did not appear before the timeout!"
  exit 1
}

ciao,
Marco
