See the package man page at http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/hotplug.html . I would also recommend the packages hotplug-utils and usb-utils. Also check out http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html See particularly the section on hotplugging, http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#gs4 At least for me, this worked flawlessly right out of the box with Woody/2.4.17, though it does seem to be in a very early stage of development. I just installed the Debian packages hotplug-utils and hotplug. Note that I'm not using devfs. Here is a tip. When you see a command not found, go to the packages search page (packages.debian.org) and go to the "Search the contents of packages" section near the bottom, and input the command you are looking for. In this case, it would have led you straight to the package hotplug. It is usually also simply worth trying "apt-cache search whatever", which only searches package descriptions. In this case that would have worked too. Faheem.
