Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20020114-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Symptom:
usb.agent complains "missing kernel or user mode driver" whenever
trying to setup an already loaded module.

Cause:
The load_drivers function tests to see if the target module is already 
loaded via a lsmod | grep. Unfortunately the grep always fails, it does not
appear to like not having anywhere to write to 
("grep: writing output: Bad file descriptor").

Solution:
redirect grep's stdout/err:
