Color me amused. That was the original way to pass information to hotplug agents ... back then (2.4.0.test10 or so), there was usually no other way to export the relevant data. I'd rather just guarantee that the sysfs device were fully constructed (attributes and all) before the driver binding and hotplug stages of enumeration started. That's been a problem all along, and that's what those recent changes were supposed to be addressing. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
