Re: USB hotplug woes
For what it's worth...
I find usb hotplug impossible to do wiht the 2.4.x kernel,
and it happens automagically with the 2.6.x kernel.
IF there is nothing stopping you from using a 2.6.x kernel
just apt-get install <2.6 kernel you need>
and there you have it. GRUB will show both kernels at boot time BTW..
To check your current kernel ls -l /lib/modules
To find the kernels avaliable
apt-cache search kernel-image |grep 2.6
