On a Gentoo Forum I've just found this (which works for me) |
| 31 |
On a 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 linux, simply unmerge coldplug, hotplug, hotplug-base and udev (yes, udev!). |
| 32 |
Then remove the /etc/hotplug, /etc/hotplug.d and /etc/udev directories. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
This being done, emerge udev again. This way you'll get hotplug-base emerged too. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Of course, check that you have /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin and /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin. |
| 37 |
Udev attempts first /lib/firmware/speedtch-N.bin.V.RR where V.RR is the hardware version and |
| 38 |
release of the speedtouch modem. Mine is 4.00, so I have /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin.4.00 and |
| 39 |
/lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin.4.00. But this is not mandatory. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
And please use rc-update to remove any boot- and default-time startup of the coldplug and hotplug scripts |
| 42 |
(you may even remove /etc/init.d/coldplug and /etc/init.d/hotplug just in case: |
| 43 |
they are not removed by emerge --unmerge). |
