2001-02-14 release of hotplug scripts
I've just packaged up the latest hotplug scripts into a release, and they can be found at:
http://download.sourceforge.net/linux-hotplug/hotplug-2001_02_14.tar.gz http://download.sourceforge.net/linux-hotplug/hotplug-2001_02_14-1.noarch.rpm http://download.sourceforge.net/linux-hotplug/hotplug-2001_02_14-1.src.rpm
depending on which format you prefer.
Changes in this version from the last release are:
- rpm makes the subsystem scripts executable
- some logging fixes
- insistence on having a writable /tmp so bash works properly
- added support for pcimodules
- Fixes some problems seen with Redhat 7 systems when the partial USB setup in /etc/rc.sysinit was not disabled. The failure mode was that all USB modules got loaded, rather than only modules for the devices that were connected.
- In conjunction with the "usbmodules" and "pcimodules" patches to "usbutils-0.7" and "pciutils-2.1.8", devices that are connected at boot time will also be configured. If you don't have those utilities, you'll need to plug USB and CardBus devices in after the system is booted, otherwise they can't be properly configured.
- other small fixes.
If you haven't patched your version of usbutils and pciutils, you can get the patch at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-hotplug-devel&m˜141435915986&w=2
Hopefully updated versions of these two packages will be released with these changes in them soon.
thanks,

These two problems are almost certainly very much related, yes?

Yes. The trouble is the "<<" idiom used to parse some of the kernel environment variables) in the {usb,pci}.agent code ... if there's a better fix, please share!
There was another related issue, since initting USB "early" meant that some hotplug events would need to be faked which wouldn't otherwise need faking.

There is one column missing in
/etc/hotplug/usb.distmap
Which column is that? The driver_info column? That's always never been there, from what I recall.

Adam Richter provided a better answer to the problem (second bullet) than the specific workaround (first bullet). His patch is now in CVS.
I could start to get used to seeing things "just work" when powering up a USB-oriented Linux laptop ... and they "just work" so much faster than with that Other "OS" that can't quite decide whether it's got to reinstall drivers each time! :-)

I believe the fix for this was to load usbcore and mount /proc/bus/usb first, and load the host controller next.
