Using netlink would tie hotplug to the presence of CONFIG_NET, which isn't really bad, but isn't really good, either. Heck, you could just use printk: tail -f /var/log/messages | hotplugd & (joke). _______________________________________________ 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
