I've shown a simple way to handle this, so this should not be a problem

Since when is /sbin/hotplug "depreciated"? It still works just fine,
and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Turns out that some distros just don't want to use it, and use netlink

kernel sure doesn't care one way or the other.
