I assume that by "finish this thing", you mean the generic portion of hotplug support. There are obviously boatloads of changes needed in all the hotplug bus trees and for all the hotpluggable devices. The respective development communities will need to enumerate the requirements for their areas (this IS an invitation): SCSI Fusion MPT? I2O? IrDA FireWire PCMCIA/PC-Card - Network adapter cards - SCSI adapter cards - USB host-controller cards - Wireless network adapter cards - ISDN adapter -- AVM A1 PCMCIA (Fritz) Wireless Networking PCI USB A somewhat tangential project is porting support for all the devices covered by the pcmcia-cs package into the kernel tree. This project also includes working out all the usermode utility and configuration support issues. Currently, the pcmcia-cs configuration does not work for the native kernel drivers in 2.4.0 (yenta, 3c59x, etc). I would prefer to see default configuration files live in the kernel tree and be installed by the kernel installation process when PCMCIA/Cardbus support is selected. Ideally, the necessary usermode support utilities would be disseminated in the same way that ksymoops and modutils are now. Other thoughts?
