How do you propose "fixing" this in the kernel? Userspace needs to be changed to go off of the /dev node showing up, not the usb hotplug event (which can happen much sooner, as you have found out.) I would recommend bringing this up with the Fedora developers. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
