Contrary to "hotplug" documentation, the kernel handler for hot plug events is /sbin/udevsend as in:
Code:
gvollink@azgvdebian:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
/sbin/udevsend
However, "udevsend" cannot initialize my wireless network card, an ipw2100 (using the Intel Linux native driver).
On a "stable" Sarge system /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is set to /sbin/hotplug. And if I change proc...hotplug back to /sbin/hotplug, my network card will initialize (I'm using it now). However, if I plug a USBDrive into the USB, it won't automount onto the desktop (I'm also using gnome-volume-manager).
The "udev" package is the package that changes this, but why? And why won't udev load my firmware if it does need to be the hotplug handler.
Boy I'm confused. I think I'm missing something that "should" be relatively easy.
