I have a script i would like to run when i plug in a pcmcia network card
into my laptop. Basicly i need it to trigger on a hotplug event, but i
dont know where to look or how to hook onto it.

Slackware 10.2
Korg 2.6.14.2
If you need more info i will provide it.
~thanks

Sounds like you need a daemon. Fortunately, there is one intended for use with laptops. It's called ifplugd. You can get it at Freshmeat. You may need to modify the code a bit to call the script.
