Re: removal of support for /etc/hotplug/usb/

[Shaun Jackman <sjackman@gmail.com>]

The udev rule I've written for the Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox looks like this:

SYSFS{modalias}="usb:v0471p0222*", NAME="njb%n", GROUP="audio", MODE="0666"

udevtest seems to indicate some success:

$ udevtest /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.3/1-2.3\:1.0/
version 056
looking at '/bus/usb/devices/1-2.3/1-2.3:1.0/'
opened class_dev->name='1-2.3:1.0'
configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/nomad.rules[1]' applied,
'1-2.3:1.0' becomes 'njb%n'

When I plug the device in, the node doesn't actually seem to be created though:

$ find /dev /sys -name \njb*
$

I would like the /proc/bus/usb node to be symlinked to /dev/njb%d,
with the correct permissions applied, as well as loading the "fuse"
kernel module. Is this possible?

Cheers,
Shaun
