possible change to usb.agent

[Robert Anderson <rea@q.sr.unh.edu>]

I've been trying to get a script to autorun when my USB Fuji 2800
camera is added to the system.  I could only get it to work by
changing the program flow in "usb.agent".  It seemed that
"usb.usermap" was only looked at if no other match was found?

I used the jPhoto example, except where they used "usb.handmap" I used
"usb.usermap".  It seemed like the comments indicated it should be in
the "usb.usermap" section to me, perhaps I misunderstood the comments?

If I'm way off here please let me know so that I can conform to what
was expected.  I'm giving a user group talk on Monday evening 1/13/02,
and I'd like to be give out the correct information.

Summary     : A helper application which loads modules for USB devices.
Description :
The term "hotplugging" refers to the dynamic reconfiguration performed
after a device has been attached to a running system. This package
contains the application which is called by the kernel when a USB
device is added; hotplug then loads the required modules for that
device.
