From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Mark Atwood Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2002 21:00:19 +0000 Subject: Is there any docs or design guides for adding hotplugablity to drivers? Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org Other than just reading the source, of course. I'm working on a Linux appliance, and I feel that using hotplug events to signal things like moving in range of an 802.11 access point, getting carrier on an ethernet port, and someone plugging a cable into the serial port, would make a lot of stuff much much easier. I suspect that a lot of this would be useful out in the "regular linux" world as well. Especially the ethernet carrier detect. (Windows can do it, and will invoke DHCP when you plug in an ethernet cable, it would be nice if Linux can do the same.) -- Mark Atwood | Well done is better than well said. mra@pobox.com | http://www.pobox.com/~mra ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ 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
