You barely beat me to it ... :) I added a couple things to this. The LABEL variable wasn't set, which meant that "no such driver" diagnostics wouldn't be helpful. I added the ": case $expected $actual" statements to the match logic, so that it's easier to use "sh -x" to debug things (as it is for the other agents). And also tweaked the doc a little, so it's clear that 2.4.10 and the right modutils are needed, and there's a HISTORY section. Is there something that addresses the "cold-plugging" (boot time) init of ieee1394/firewire/i-link/... devices, like the "usbmodules" command? * Scenario: firewire driver is statically linked, device is connected at boot time, but hotplugging won't behave since filesystems aren't ready yet. * Solution: a /etc/hotplug/ieee1394.rc script that scans the bus and issues fake hotplug events for those devices. There could be other solutions of course. > It's looking like it's time for another linux-hotplug release, does > anyone have any outstanding issues that need to be addressed before I > make another release? I finally got around to integrating a bunch of the fixes from SuSE, though not all of them. It would be good to have the scripts sense whether they're running on a RedHat-ish system or SuSE one, and use the appropriate style admin scripts for (a) hotplug options, and (b) network administration. (Best to have distros agree more on such stuff, but that's a bit out of scope for me ... :) Unless someone else wants to volunteer to address those issues in the near future, I think it's a fine time to release. This one will have the "fxload" utility (hotplugging can load EZ-USB FX/FX2 firmware), some of the SuSE support, bugfixes, IEEE1394, and stuff I've forgotten ... should be interesting! :) - Dave _______________________________________________ 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
