This is the correct option - from udev-059 onwards, the hotplug
handling is being done differently, with the udev rules being expanded
to allow calling of hotplug scripts from the udev rules file. It will
take a while to get a properly grip on the new functionality.
Ideally, the hotplug scripts will go away entirely, and be replaced by
udev rules that can call modprobe directly, etc. - that will take some
time however.
