Copied from usb.agent (the file that actually is called on USB hotplug events): -------------------------------------------------------------------- # generated by modutils, for current 2.4.x (and later) kernels MAP_CURRENT=$MODULE_DIR/modules.usbmap # used if MAP_CURRENT is missing; for 2.2.x kernels MAP_DISTMAP=$HOTPLUG_DIR/usb.distmap # # used for kernel drivers that don't show up in CURRENT or DISTMAP, # currently input drivers (joysticks, keyboards, etc). newer systems # should use input hotplug events instead. # MAP_HANDMAP=$HOTPLUG_DIR/usb.handmap -------------------------------------------------------------------- So I guess handmap is correct for kernel 2.4 (untested).
