Hi,

Is it possible get hotpluging to work on a datafab smartmedia reader.

Ther is no problem to load the usb-storage and the sd_mod by hand and
use it.

Some info on system.
Amd  K6/2 550
Chipset    Via MVP3
Dist:            RH7.0        (comented out the orginal usb init in
rc.sysinit)
kernel            2.4.2          (patched with datafab patch. and the
devicefs patch)
modutils:    2.4.3-1       (rpm)
usbutils    0.7                 (pathed to 0.7-hotplug)
hotplug    2001_02_28-1 (noarch.rpm)

My webcam and printer  (Creative webcam3 and HP970Cxi) hotplugs ok.

Checked that the script use modules.usbmap in $KERNEL
and it has the line for the reader.

usb-storage    0x000f    0x07c4    0xa006    0x0000    0xffff    0x00
0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00
 0x00000000

/var/log/messages  (when plugged)

hub.c: USB new device connected on bus1/1, assigned device number 3
usb.c: Usb device 3 (vend/prod 0x7c4/0xa006) is not clamed by any active
driver.
/etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no driver for USB product 7c4/a006/15


Have also som strange results using lsusb (behaves best on usb-uhci.
More errors using uhci)

string descriptor 1 invalid (07 f6)
cannot get stringdescriptor 2, Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide
character (84)
cannot get stringdescriptor 3, Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide
character (84)
cannot get stringdescriptor 0, Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide
character (84)

Attach lsusb dump.

Best regards

Ken
