You mean if you plugged the PDA in before turning on your system's |
| 15 |
power, right? And hotplug does the same thing if the device is |
| 16 |
plugged in after turning on the power, right? Hotplug won't load the |
| 17 |
modules if the plugged-in thing was plugged in before the power was |
| 18 |
turned on? |

If coldplug is running, do I need /etc/modules.autoload.d ? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
What's up with the hotplug init script? Everyone seems to act like it |
| 23 |
doesn't exist. |
