udev usb0 control

2008-10-18 Thread Joel Newkirk
OK, the only way I've been able to find to automatically bring usb0 up and
down with USB insertion, WHILE IN DEVICE MODE, is to trigger off
subsystem==power_supply.  (with frameworkd, will be able to trigger via
dbus signal /org/freesmartphone/Device/Input
(dbus.String(u'USB'), dbus.String(u'released') - but will just udev method
work for all current FR images?) It seems that udev doesn't register a
subsystem net event for unplug when the FR is in device mode.

Does anyone have a better idea?

I've got it bringing usb0 down on unplug, and on plug-in it tries to bring
usb0 back up, waits 5 secs, sees if the peer is reachable, and brings usb0
back down if not.  Sub-optimal, IMHO, but it's working.

ethernet link should be a better idea.

I'm sorry, I don't follow.  Sensing ethernet/RNDIS link /should/ be a
better idea, but doesn't work AFAICS with g_ether.

The question is if someone knows of a better way to detect that the USB
plug has been inserted/removed: when in USB device mode (standard state for
Freerunner, at least under 2007.x/2008.x/FDOM/Raster/FSO) udev appears
unable to sense the loss of link on usb0, so we need a reliable means of
automatically bringing up/down usb0 when plugged/unplugged.
