Needs kernel > 2.4.10 and modutils 2.4.9 to hotplug. To clarify, the ieee1394 support is what needs software that's as-yet not quite released. Other hotplugging (USB, PCI, network) still works just fine with 2.4.0 (and, for USB, 2.2.current). The release is not (as one person suspected :) Science Fiction! > - Some of the updates from SuSE: ... excluding most of the SuSE-specific admin stuff, so for now SuSE users will need to get an RPM from SuSE that knows and uses those hooks. (Much like the way the Debian and RedHat distros re-use this software.) I figure converging admin between such distros is not a near term possibility, but testing for each distro's admin hooks and then using them is achievable. We're not quite there yet, but the size of the distro-specific patches should be shrinking over time ... :) - Dave
