I think the rule of thumb is that if you want it to happen, start to make it happen!

I take it, then, that nobody has started on this work yet. No problem, I just wanted to see if somebody had made headway.

It's linux/drivers/pci/pci.c that issues call_usermodehelper(), which is pretty generic. If cPCI called that, it might "just work". If you try the latest hotplug script (with a PCI agent) does anything happen?

Well, looks like I'll have to shop for a peripheral card (an FCode'ed one at that) and see what happens.

Subject: [Q] cPCI hotplugging

Hi folks,

I was referred to this group by an article at lwn.net, and it seems that some pretty exciting stuff is going on here.

My question is whether or not this list is concerning itself with PCI (non-cardbus) hotplug, or simply focusing (for now) on USB, FireWire and Cardbus. If so, is there any preliminary documentation on this subsystem (the webpage is understandably sparse at this time)?

I have been working with a Sun CP1400/1500 CompactPCI box and it would be most excellent to look into CompactPCI hotplugging.

Thanks for the update,
E
