I don't know exactly what messages are passed to userspace, but there are plenty of them. You can find out a lot more by asking questions on the hotplug mailing list.

Maybe the best answer will be to run udev on the embedded platform. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
