Hi All, I am trying to understand the hotplugging in Linux. I am new to Linux kernel and its subsystems. I found this article on LJ http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5604 As per that, the USB device will call /sbin/hotplug with arguments argv [0] = hotplug_path argv [1] = "usb" argv [2] = 0 Also the module auto detection script provided in that article uses those arguments. I have tried that script in my system with kernel 2.6.29-ARCH But I found that the arguments are not passing to the script through /proc/...../hotplug Also I am not able to understand this part : IFS=/ set $PRODUCT '' usb_idVendor=$1 usb_idProduct=$2 IFS="$DEFAULT_IFS" >From where that script is getting the vendor id and product id. That script is not working in this kernel, so I assume that some changes happened with current Linux hotplugging. I am not able to find any useful article or something to find the current changes. It will be helpful, if any one help me to understand the working of script and current changes that happened.
