Who is going to fix what and when? Jeff did not even reply the last two weeks to the simple question why he added this filter, and why events need to dropped if something wants to send them. :) These events are for non-AN devices, which we still poll for media changes. Userspace wants the same kind of events for both types of devices. > How about this instead as a fix for 2.6.25? We are currently working on a the next generation of the storage part of the hal daemon, which needs these events. So it would be nice, if we can make them working now, like they worked with Kristens original patches. Thanks, Kay
