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 -- greg@(kroah|wirex).com _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
