Get a clue, you reopened a three months-old bogus bug just to ask a question.
Sorry, I had no intention to offend.
As far as I understood udev and hotplugging, things were not working as they should, and so this bug report seemed correct. The evidence I had before me (that my USB gamepad was autoprobed correctly at boot-time) seemed to belie your assertion that you didn't think it was possible to autoprobe joysticks, and made me think there was a genuine bug here. Since I believed this bug report was correct, I reopened it rather than creating a new bug report.
If there has been some change in bug reporting etiquette since I was last an active debian developer, and being unaware of this I offended you, I am truly sorry.
Anyway: the input subsystem is half-broken WRT hotplugging, and this is a known kernel problem which will hopefully be fixed by 2.6.15 kernels. Until then, this is the best udev can do.
Thank you. That is an interesting piece of information which I did not manage to locate when I did various google searches and bug searches before reopening this bug.
