Note that /sbin/hotplug is NOT on this diagram, because we immediately set the hotplug handler in /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug to /sbin/udevsend
In my experience it doesn't matter what's in /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug. I've tested this with - I switch the computer off, unplug my speedtouch usb modem, switch on and boot into LFS, echo /dev/null > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
Plug in the modem and voila! The firmware loads. Udev still receives the hotplug event through the netlink socket and calls /sbin/firmware_helper which loads the firmware into the modem. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
