Then remove the /etc/hotplug, /etc/hotplug.d and /etc/udev directories.
This being done, emerge udev again. This way you'll get hotplug-base emerged too. Of course, check that you have /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin and /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin. Udev attempts first /lib/firmware/speedtch-N.bin.V.RR where V.RR is the hardware version and release of the speedtouch modem. Mine is 4.00, so I have /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin.4.00 and /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin.4.00. But this is not mandatory. And please use rc-update to remove any boot- and default-time startup of the coldplug and hotplug scripts (you may even remove /etc/init.d/coldplug and /etc/init.d/hotplug just in case: they are not removed by emerge --unmerge). -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
