Hi all, I am currently writing a piece of software that needs to detect which USB devices are attached to the computer. Event-based notifications of attaching and detaching hardware while the software is running is nice, but not required.
I first used DeviceKit-Sharp (by Ben Gamari), but when observing a bug and asking the DeviceKit mailing-list, Kay Sievers answered: "The DeviceKit daemon is dead and will not run, or be installed on any usual system. You need to use libudev, or the GUdev to retrieve this information." This is a pity, because DeviceKit was working nicely, despite the bug in the daemon. I can't find any Mono-bindings for libudev, and diving deeper in the documentation, libudev seems quite low-level and talking to HAL. Looking for HAL abstractions, I discovered that HAL will be obsolete as well in the near future. This leaves me completely confused about 'the way to go' for hardware detection in Mono on Linux. Is there anybody who can suggest a (sort of) future-proof approach to this?
