You mean if you plugged the PDA in before turning on your system's power, right? And hotplug does the same thing if the device is plugged in after turning on the power, right? Hotplug won't load the modules if the plugged-in thing was plugged in before the power was turned on? If coldplug is running, do I need /etc/modules.autoload.d ? What's up with the hotplug init script? Everyone seems to act like it doesn't exist. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
