/sbin/hotplug gets run when the device is plugged in. But the minor number isn't being passed to it (yet...for 2.5 we're working on it...) If you're using 2.5 you can look in the /proc/tty/driver/usb-serial file to get the minor number for your device. Or you can parse the kernel log entries (not exactly the nicest way, I know...) And are you sure that your modem will work with the ftdi_sio driver? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
