Exactly. The kernel will by default get the device up and working. Any capabilities to be changed after it is working can be done by userspace with a "whitelist" type program that can properly tell the kernel that this specific device can be safely suspended. If you decide to do this in a small bash script, or in HAL/udevd/DeviceKit/whatever, it all doesn't matter to the kernel. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
