If you have keyboard and are willing to code, you can help prevent that resolution ... all it needs is one volunteer to provide a simple prototype! I'd suggest starting with getting a dialog to pop up on the local X11 display. I think the workable approach is likely to have a way for a hotplug agent to use some named local contact point (like a socket or pipe, probably in /var/run) is enough. Given such a core mechanism, and contributors, the rest can evolve. The X11 server would be best at seeing the input hotplug events (available in 2.5 kernels). For cases like network interfaces that have never been seen before, some administrative GUI would be the right thing to pop up. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ 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
