Bug#431570: O: usbmgr -- user-mode daemon which loads/unloads USB kernel modules
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the usbmgr package, since it lacks of upstream development
and better options exists.
I also intend to request for removal in a couple of weeks if no other still wants
to take care of it.
The package description is:
When USB devices connect into or disconnect from a USB hub,
the usbmgr works as follows, according to configuration:
.
a) Load and unload Linux kernel modules.
b) Execute scripts to setup USB devices.
.
usbmgr is available under linux kernels having "/proc/bus/usb" and it is
suitable for specific needs regarding USB devices.
.
This software was made for 2.4 kernels when USB support was inmature,
for wider and modern support of plugable devices you may want to use
hotplug by installing the udev package.
