I have one usb device (scanner). It rarely gets used, so I compiled
support as a module. Because there are other users (who don't have root
permissions) on the machine who occasionally use the scanner, I have to
manually modprobe the necessary drivers when they would like to use it.
I don't think the hotplugging daemon is the answer, as the device is
always plugged in. What if I had the user turn the device off after
each use, and then on before use? Would this trigger the hotplug daemon
to load the correct drivers?
When the hotplug daemon is running, does usbcore, usb-uhci || usb-ohci
have to be loaded? If they do, I am not saving myself anything other
than not having scanner.o loaded.
I was hoping for a solution like I use for my soundcard. An alias is
entered in modules.conf, so that if a system call for sound-slot-0, the
sound_module.o is loaded.
If you think you can help me out, let me know.
