Hi there! Here my experiences with hotplugging with modutils-2.4.1, linux-2.4.0 with the hotplug patch applied. My devices plug well AFTER I add the matchflag to the read statement in the hotplug script. But for mousedev/joydev hotplugging I had to patch in the input-hotplug patch. usb-storage and joydev does NOT hotplug, but I still use my local-usbmap approach to do this. I attach the folowing files: hotplug-local.patch Patch for new modules.usbmap format and for local map support usb-map.local My local usbmap for usb-storage (sddr-31) and joydev for Logitech Wingman Digital Extreme input.patch The patch for automagically hotpluging of mousedev (and joydev?) From David Brownell I hope that helps and we see improved usbd cvs scripts soon ;-) Best wishes Norbert -- ciao norb +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Norbert Preining http://www.logic.at/people/preining | | University of Technology Vienna, Austria preining@logic.at | | DSA: 0x09C5B094 (RSA: 0xCF1FA165) mail subject: get [DSA|RSA]-key | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
