Hmm, that'd explain the original problem: - Using hotplug scripts old enough that they demand that /tmp be writable ... so the pure bash version of hotplugging won't work; - Not having "usbmodules", so the bash code is the only option. Yes, that was an old bug in the hotplug scripts, now fixed. - Dave _______________________________________________ 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
