Hi! I've used usbmgr to manage my USB devices till now and everthing worked fine. But I read that for 2.4 kernels hotplug is the suggested way to go and not usbmgr.
So I now tried to set up hotplug. The hot-plugging itself works fine. But hotplug doesn't detect what is already plugged in at boot time. I have to unplug and replug the devices in order to make hotplug load their drivers. Can't this be done properly? After booting with three USB devices attached (trackball, serial device and floppy), I have those log messages in dmesg: usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb.c: deregistering driver usbdevfs usb.c: deregistering driver hub usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 19:31:45 Mar 9 2002 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0x1200, IRQ 10 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0x1300, IRQ 10 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x46d/0xc401) is not claimed by any active driver. hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x403/0x6001) is not claimed by any active driver. hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1, assigned device number 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x644/0x0) is not claimed by any active driver. So, no driver has been loaded. Not even the trackball one, although I have set X11_USBMICE_HACK=true in /etc/default/hotplug.usb! After unplugging and replugging each device, I get the following messages with dmesg: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2 hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 4 usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x46d/0xc401) is not claimed by any active driver. usb.c: registered new driver usb_mouse input0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Trackball on usb1:4.0 usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver usb.c: registered new driver hid hid-core.c: v1.8 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers usb.c: USB disconnect on device 3 hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 5 usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x403/0x6001) is not claimed by any active driver. usb.c: registered new driver serial usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic usbserial.c: USB Serial Driver core v1.4 usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI SIO usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI 8U232AM usbserial.c: FTDI 8U232AM converter detected usbserial.c: FTDI 8U232AM converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs) ftdi_sio.c: v1.2.0:USB FTDI RS232 Converters Driver usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2 hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1, assigned device number 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x644/0x0) is not claimed by any active driver.

So, why does it not work during booting and how can I make it work? TIA.
