Hi,
I'm not using anything so high-tech as I couldn't make those work. Now, I
compile in the core code plus the HID code I need for my keyboard & mouse. My
printer and scanner modules are then dynamically loaded as part of my startup
sequence (via a simple script in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d that modprobe's them).
I'd be interested in more high tech solutions (especially those driven by the
addition or removal of the device). It strikes me that this ought to be do-able
with some kind of daemon and some help from the driver (a signal to the daemon
process for example).
Just for info,
John...
