How the hotplugging will be with user space drivers?

[j d]

Hi,
      Am writing a user space driver for usb1.1
scanner. I want to know how the hotplugging will be
with the user space drivers in kernel 2.6.4. Thank
you,
Regards,
JD

I assume you are writing a SANE driver, right?

The sane-backends sources contain a script to automatically
setup the permission for the /proc/bus/usb files. You can
check that out (see <sources>/tools/hotplug)

As far as I know there is no other hotplugging support for
SANE (like automatically starting xsane or something like
that), but it should be fairly easy to write.

I think USB scanner hotplugging is the same for Linux kernel
2.4 and 2.6

All the best,
Bertrik
