Attached is a revised "hotplug update" patch, against 2.4.0-test10. 
It's looking close to submit-able now.

General change description is the same as the first patch, which can be
found at
http://boudicca.tux.org/hypermail/linux-kernel/this-week/0785.html

Changes since the first patch:
* CONFIG_HOTPLUG and CONFIG_KMOD are now totally independent.  It was an
incestuous relationship anyway.
* exec_usermodehelper and call_usermodehelper are now unconditionally
present
* new file Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt describes
/sbin/network usage, and netdevice locking
* usb supports ACTION=$verb again, for compatibility with existing
implementation
* don't use magic numbers for 'insert' value in code, use TRUE/FALSE
* ditch the sbus slot number
* use '/' separate in PCI environment variables, for consistency with
USB
* eliminate EXPORT_SYMBOL(hotplug_path), modules don't need it
* constify netdev_event_name[] array

Now, time to track down that elusive thing called sleep... :)
