Public bug reported: Binary package hint: irda-utils
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). Note: udev rules tested with a KingSun KS-959 IRDA/USB adapter (ks959_sir module). ** Affects: irda-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- USB-IrDA udev hotplug support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361431 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
