Busybox's mdev is currently intended for that. I've used udev for other projects, but we have a very limited space here. More important at the moment, however, is getting notifications in userspace. > > As for unwinding the .config issues, you will have to do this, based on > your own settings, not much we can do here. It is my hope that the developers from TI and MonteVista will weigh in since I have, so far, unsuccessfully unwound the interactions. > >> - Even when compiling all the driver code built-in, neither the >> plug-in nor plug-out event is propagated to user space, again, so >> that the interface can be brought up. > How do you know it isn't showing up?

As noted above, mdev, which is set as the userspace hotplug script (via echo its full path to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug) which I have slightly modified to just log that it is being run, and see no output messages. > > greg k-h > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ >
