Hi!
AFAICS, sysfs should be mounted on /sys these days...

Hi Pavel,
> AFAICS, sysfs should be mounted on /sys these days...
we can remove the hotplug-script from 2.4 and 2.6 completly, because the
firmware.agent script is now part of the linux-hotplug scripts and there
is no need to write one. You only have to put the firmware file into the
firmware directory, which is by default /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ and
everything works as expected.
Regards
Marcel

Well, I'd keep them for a while... To stop people wondering "WTF is
this"?

I don't think so. There is a README that should explain this and the
example hotplug-script should go away, because it confuses more than it
helps. The current one looks very different and is working fine for 2.4
and 2.6. If people don't have a firmware.agent script on their system
they can either update the hotplug utils or use the Internet to find
one.

You need more coffee. You forgot the /sysfs/ on the line with cat. ;)
