Hi all,

Sorry for the very very late reply. I was waiting for the open sourcing
of usb_moded to finally come through.

Something that needs to be done for usb_moded also, since the detection
is done atm using Nokia internal battery/charging software. I have
started working on udev support, but it has not been progressing due to
the lack of documentation for udev/libudev (or I missed the useful
manual/description) and having to allocate time on other more pressing
internal matters. And also not finding a suitable kernel entry/device to
check for. I have not found anything yet that will tell me if it is a
cable or a charger that is getting connected. 

HAL can be used too, but that bit is not really nicest and the most
flexible code. To be honest it is more a quick hack to get started. (I
have re-added support to build with it) And as we all know HAL has been
as good as dead since end of 2009...

Well finally it managed to pass all the legal checks etc within Nokia,
so it is now available for use here:
https://meego.gitorious.org/meego-middleware/usb_moded

It still needs work to be more generically usable though, but most of
the Nokia specific things can be compiled out already.

Patches, comments and flames are welcome (although the last one a bit
less;)). (I plan to add a document explaining the API and functionality
soon).

Cheers,

Philippe
