Does anybody have suggestion for a program that monitors the insert of PC
Cards (or USB devices), and runs user defined scripts based upon the device
inserted?
For example, I have a laptop that I insert a Sierra Wireless card, a Wifi PC
Card or a USB Wifi device. I would like to auto-configure the default
routes based upon which device is present, and un-configure when that device
is removed.
Currently, I use a cron job to parse the output of demsg, and take action
based on whether the device is present or not.
It looks as though OpenBSD had a daemon called pcmciad that did just that.
( http://www.rocketaware.com/man/man8/pcmciad.8.htm )
Also, FreeBSD has a similar daemon called pccardd.
There was mention of a program in this post (

the link to the code no longer works.
Thanks,
Tom
