It seems faily typical - it's also mandatory for > ipw2100-source, which was my template. If hotplug is mandatory, then it's mandatory for firmware loading, not for actual module installation. ie. modprobe can load the module as easily as hotplug, but modules using firmware_class (which should be all of the drivers that need non-DFSG firmware) call hotplug or some other firmware-loading userland agent to get their firmware udev in unstable can now substitute for hotplug when loading firmware, but looks for the firmware in /lib/firmware, not /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware as hotplug (specifically firmware.agent) does. Happily, udev Provides: hotplug so you don't yet need to worry about that for pacakaging purposes, although if you put the firmware in a .deb file then it _does_ matter. (Or at least so the changelog of udev implied to me) -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
