That's fine with most devices, but causes a problem with network adaptors. No hotplug system can anticipate your removing the device and unmount NFS shares before you do it, so the only safe way to remove a USB NIC is to bring down the interface first. -- Neil Bothwick I used to have a handle on life, then it broke. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It can't unmount it and terminate the connections. However, there is no reason why the device shouldn't be detected again. And, if hotplug can do it, why couldn't udev? I was just saying hotplug is outdated and replaced by udev. -- This email was generated by a biological random generator. If you want more random text, just respond to this email.

That's fine with most devices, but causes a problem with network adaptors. No hotplug system can anticipate your removing the device and unmount NFS shares before you do it, so the only safe way to remove a USB NIC is to bring down the interface first. Here's the problem. I have an Edimax and a Linksys USB adapter. They both use the rt73usb driver in 2.6.24. I can stop the interface and successfully switch from Edimax to Linksys, but trying to go from Linksys to Edimax says the hardware is not present when trying to start the interface again. Rebooting fixes it. Can anyone make sense of that? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Whenever I unplug a USB wireless adapter I must reboot in order for it to be recognized again. Is there a way to avoid the reboot? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I think I just needed to make sure to stop net.wlan0 before removing the adapter. I thought that didn't work before, but it seems to be now. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
