Matching Keith's modutils update, here's a a package of
hotplug scripts ... not yet as neatly packaged! And
also, not (yet) handling with the older file format for
the "modules.usbmap" files associated with 2.4.0 test (and
prerelease) kernels. It "ought" to behave with the usb
hotplug support in 2.2.18 kernels.
Extract into /etc/hotplug, and see the README. There's
a network hotplug agent but no PCI/Cardbus agent.
Followups to linux-hotplug-devel please.
