When plugging in a webcam, mdev will not load the webcam driver by default. The linux kernel kindly provide you with a module alias, and modprobe support loading modules from aliases - i made hotplugging work Long time since i tested it (proably 2.6.16/18 something) and i cant remember i have ever seen any documentation about the usb stuff in /sys. I used the try-and-fail method to make it work. > Regarding your mdev.conf. It starts with listing links, which should be > created. This is not working on my machine.

I started with a mdev.conf i found somwhere (probably tinderbox) I actually think they never worked for me either. IIRC i checked the bb source and wondered if the links were supposed to work at all.
