Re: [Gumstix-users] Not receiving hotplug notifications

[<roc...@gm...>]

Craig,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did update to 2.6.18gum but the situation
remains the same wrt to hotplug events.   Evidently the kernel is still not
calling /sbin/hotplug in response to usb add and remove actions.

Is it working for anyone else?

Thanks,
Todd
