So I was just on the Linux-USB list and it was recommended I take a look over here.
I'm trying to get the Micro Solutions BACKPACK USB adapter supported under Linux.
It's a simple mass-storage device, but it needs to have a firmware loaded (actually several, but it's a long story). Fxload and hotplug sure sound like the trick.
My question:
What should I be creating?
Should I create a script for people to add the correct files in the right places for hotplug to get at, or should I be working to get firmwares to you folk so that it will be in the hotplug package?
Perhaps there's another package that's going to be the repository of scripts for different devices?
It seems simple enough, and I've got it roughly working on my machine here,
but how is it going to be easy for the users? I'd like to have this be easy for people to add to their distributions. Make our own .deb's and .RPM's???? Is there a previously existent repository package?
Thanks for any advice?
