-Gentoo uses <c>sys-apps/hotplug</c> to do some magic with <e>hot-pluggable</e> |
| 51 |
-devices. Just like any other magic trick, there is a simple logic behind this |
| 52 |
-one too. We shall now see what that is, and in the process hopefully we will be |
| 53 |
-able to understand it better. |

-Firmware can be defined as the software on a piece of hardware that is loaded |
| 58 |
-and executed but can't be modified easily. Many devices have firmware in them |
| 59 |
-to ensure that they work properly and often firmware may contain code that is |
| 60 |
-critical to ensure that the hardware performs as expected. Firmware is present |
| 61 |
-in a wide variety of computer devices ranging from ROM chips to state of the |
| 62 |
-art USB and PCMCIA cards. When a device is plugged in, the firmware (which may, |
| 63 |
-in some cases, be the driver as well) is read and loaded onto memory after |
| 64 |
-which the device can be used by the system. |
| 65 |

| 66 |

| 68 |
-To cut the long story short, Gentoo uses <c>sys-apps/hotplug</c> to handle |
| 69 |
-the firmware side of things in <e>hot-pluggable</e> devices. |
| 70 |
-<c>sys-apps/hotplug</c> will use the required firmware to make that device |
| 71 |
-usable. The firmware should be put in the <path>/lib/firmware</path> directory |
| 72 |
-and is picked up from there. Getting it is simple; the usual emerge will do. |
