Use the "PROGRAM=" key in a udev rule. If the rule is only ever executed for your prism2 device, then it can safely always return exit code 0. Strictly, this is intended to run a program which will determine if this rule is to be applied to a particular device, but nothing says it can't have side effects. -- derek _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
