hotplug scritps calling my app

[Andreas Jellinghaus <aj@dungeon.inka.de>]

Hi.

for some smartcard/token i wrote a user space application
as driver. It could be installed as /sbin/hotplug on systems
without the default hotplug scripts.

with the default scripts, is this the right thing to do?
 - add entry to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap
 - create directory /etc/hotplug/usb
 - copy my userspace driver to /et/hotplug/usb/etoken

of course debian (as always) needs a special handling:
add entries to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.local and call
update-usb.usermap.

i noticed a small difference in the driver called
via the true hotplug <-> the init.d startup script:
 - DEBUG="kernel" is only set when called via kernel.
 - PRODUCT="0/0/0" (init.d script) versus PRODUCT="529/50c/100" (kernel)
 - TYPE="usb" is only set when called from kernel.
 - not called with any parameter (kernel and init.d script, but
   /sbin/hotplug is called with "usb" as parameter).

are these meant to be that way?
setting PRODUCT environment variable would be good IMO. 

I'm using debian/woody. I guess they haven't changed the hotplugs script
(except the update-usb.usermap hack). The version is  0.0.20020114-7.

Best regards, Andreas
