Then the default udev configuration will run the hotplug.d/ handlers. This is not strictly needed, but I cannot avoid it until udev will become mandatory to have hotplug support (is there a consensus on this?). > 3a. if a specific handler isn't found, any handler(s) in the default > directory are called No, default handlers are always run. -- ciao, Marco
