I've just packaged up the latest Linux hotplug scripts into a release,
which can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id\x17679
This release adds ieee1394 support and a try at SuSE support :)
Here's the full changelog:
- Added ieee1394.agent from Kristian Hogsberg
<hogsberg@users.sourceforge.net>
- with docs, "sh -x" debug support, minor fix. Needs kernel
2.4.10 and modutils 2.4.9 to hotplug.
- Some of the updates from SuSE:
* add/use debug_msg macro in hotplug_functions
modprobe -s (to syslog)
* various agent tweaks/fixes
* more usb.handmap entries (from usbmgr)
- Added the fxload program
- Rework root makefile and hotplug.spec to install in prefix
location without need of spec file for install.
- Added installation directions to make the /var/run/usb
directory, and updated the rpm spec file to match.
- added half of Stephen Williams <steve@icarus.com> REMOVER
patch. It is up to the install script to create the
/var/run/usb directory. Something like the following would be
enough:
mkdir /var/run/usb
chmod 0700 /var/run/usb
Thanks,
greg k-h

And various bugfixes ... :)

To clarify, the ieee1394 support is what needs software that's
as-yet not quite released. Other hotplugging (USB, PCI, network)
still works just fine with 2.4.0 (and, for USB, 2.2.current). The
release is not (as one person suspected :) Science Fiction!
> - Some of the updates from SuSE:
... excluding most of the SuSE-specific admin stuff, so
for now SuSE users will need to get an RPM from SuSE
that knows and uses those hooks. (Much like the way
the Debian and RedHat distros re-use this software.)
I figure converging admin between such distros is not a near
term possibility, but testing for each distro's admin hooks
and then using them is achievable. We're not quite there
yet, but the size of the distro-specific patches should be
shrinking over time ... :)

Actually, it appears that the option to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG was taken
out in 2.2.19, and is not in any of the 2.2.20-pre's. I emailed Greg K-H
about this earlier this week.
I enabled it and it's "working for me" with hotplug-2001_04_24. One-liner
follows:
--- linux-2.2.19/drivers/usb/Config.in Sun Mar 25 11:37:37 2001
+++ linux-2.2.18/drivers/usb/Config.in Sun Dec 10 19:49:43 2000
