Subject: irda-utils: USB-IrDA udev hotplug support Package: irda-utils Version: 0.9.18-10 Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line *** For make USB-IrDA devices hotpluggable and working instantly, needs a udev rule that call irattach for new device plugged in. Obviously we need to kill irattach on plug out. This is a working rule for udev: SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTR{type}=="783", RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/irattach.pid --startas /usr/sbin/irattach -- $env{INTERFACE} -s" SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="irda*", RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --name irattach --pidfile /var/run/irattach.pid" This rule can be installed on /etc/udev/rules.d during irda-utils package installation. Same things related PnP autoconfig via udev instead init script (irda-setup). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/irda-utils/+bug/361431
