The USB analogue will require usbdevfs and "usbmodules" ... that's for the quick solution using off-the-shelf components. There's an issue there: how to get the related programs properly up-to-date. "pcimodules" is a patch to "pciutils" now (I'd like a change in it, details below), and the current "usbutils" release is missing the modutils 2.4.2 support patch. I don't see getting rid of the need for hotplug awareness in such utilities, unless more data shows up in /proc and it gets easier to parse without C code. - Dave p.s. "pcimodules" changes I'd like to see: - "-s pci_slot_name" ... one function at a time. On big systems, the current version might touch hundreds of PCI busses (said LKML recently) - "--version" ... so scripts can defend against versions that are old or buggy - "--if-unbound" (or somesuch) ... don't bother saying anything if the function has a driver already. (/proc/bus/pci/devices has that info.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miles Lane" To: Sent: Saturday, February 03, 2001 3:53 PM Subject: Any ETA on getting the PCI hardware detection event replaying added? > > Hi, > > It seems like concensus has been reached about the general > requirements for handling the detection of PCI/Cardbus devices > which are already plugged in at boot time (this is the problem > where exec_usermodehelper + /sbin/hotplug can't handle device > detection and module insertion early in the boot sequence). > I'm wondering if anyone is currently working on implementing > this. > > Miles > > _______________________________________________ > 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 _______________________________________________ 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
