-Gentoo uses <c>sys-apps/hotplug</c> to do some magic with <e>hot-pluggable</e>
-devices. Just like any other magic trick, there is a simple logic behind this
-one too. We shall now see what that is, and in the process hopefully we will be
-able to understand it better.
-</p>

-<p>
-Firmware can be defined as the software on a piece of hardware that is loaded
-and executed but can't be modified easily. Many devices have firmware in them
-to ensure that they work properly and often firmware may contain code that is
-critical to ensure that the hardware performs as expected. Firmware is present
-in a wide variety of computer devices ranging from ROM chips to state of the
-art USB and PCMCIA cards. When a device is plugged in, the firmware (which may,
-in some cases, be the driver as well) is read and loaded onto memory after
-which the device can be used by the system.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-To cut the long story short, Gentoo uses <c>sys-apps/hotplug</c> to handle
-the firmware side of things in <e>hot-pluggable</e> devices.
-<c>sys-apps/hotplug</c> will use the required firmware to make that device
-usable. The firmware should be put in the <path>/lib/firmware</path> directory
-and is picked up from there. Getting it is simple; the usual emerge will do.
