I had talked about doing the backport patch if others thought it would
be a good idea, but hadn't gotten to it yet. I don't know of any
existing patches that do this (if there are, could someone point me to
them?)
I was thinking of using depmod, but due to the latest "mess" with the
structures, I hadn't decided what the usb_device_id format would look
like. I am leaning toward whatever 2.4.x looks like, to try to preserve
compatibility as much as I can.
I also was/am going to test the crap out of it with older versions of
modutils, so as not to require any upgrades if the user didn't want to
have hotplug support (one of the 2.2.x requirements).
Does that all sound ok?
thanks,
greg k-h
