The notebook is a Samsung X20 with Intel ipw2200 wireless chip set. The hotplug system seems to recognize the activation of the interface via the hardware key because an event is generated which calls the firmware agent, which then loads the firmware. But even when switching all debug mechanisms on it seems to be only that one and only firmware event thatb is generated. When switching the interface off via the notebook key, it seems that no event is generated at all (no additional info in /var/log/messages or /events). Because it is a bit difficult to get a general knowledge of the hotplug system your help is appreciated: how can I achieve that an event is generated (beyond the one that is generated to load the firmware) when switching on and off the WLAN interface? In conclusion which agent must I supply (filename and directory) to achieve that it is called when switching the WLAN on/off? Where can I get more Information to really understand the interaction between hardware, hotplug, HAL, dbus and udev? I've some basic knowledge about the different systems, but none about their interaction and the files that participate (agents etc.) The documentation I've found unfortunately has not answered my questions. Many thank in advance! bye Marcus ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
