missing messages

[Bryan Kate]

Greetings,

I am working on a user space app with multiple usb devices, and I would
like to get notification when a device has been inserted/removed from
the system.  I read the article
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5604 and decided to use this
method.

I am able to get notification of add, but not remove... this is what is
did.

Since my default /sbin/hotplug script forwards me to the
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent, I had to add a line to my usb.usermap file and
put a matching script into my /etc/hotplug/usb directory for it to run.

It actually runs this script (much to my surprise) and I am testing it
by having it echo out the environment variables to a messages file.  For
some reason, I am only getting notification when I "add" a device, and
it does nothing when I pull it out...  any ideas on how to get this
"remove" action message to come through?

If it's not coming through, there's a bug somewhere.  You should
figure out where it's getting dropped, and submit a patch against
the latest software.
