[gentoo-user] How to get hotplug goign?

[Grant Edwards]

Can somebody point me to some documentation on how to get
hotplug working under Gentoo?   I'm trying to use a ti
USB/serial dongle which needs a hotplug script run.  I've put
the script in /etc/hotplug/usb/<module-name>, but it doesn't
get called.

As far as I can tell /etc/hotplug/usb.agent never even gets
called.

And the most recent version of sys-apps/hotplug is over three
years old?

After doign an "echo /sbin/hotplug >/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug"
the hotplug system started to work.  How is that supposed to
happen?  /etc/init.d/hotplug doesn't do it.

I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly udev is supposed to
replace cold/hotplug.  Perhaps you should try to find a way to do what
you are doing using udev?

I probably should.  Using hotplug is making the device driver
for the USB dongle hang.

udev was definitely the right way to go.  One fairly simple
rule, and the device is working.

I should probably unmerge hotplug, eh?
