in /etc/hotplug/hotplug.function is bug
"-t" allows not parameter "1"
after this, hotplug cannot logging into /var/log/messages in my
gentoo box
#
# for diagnostics
#
if [ -t 1 -o -z "$LOGGER" ]; then
    mesg () {
        echo "$@"
    }

and in /etc/hotplug/net.agent cannot write debug messages
            # Gentoo
            elif [ -f /etc/gentoo-release ]; then
                script=/etc/init.d/net.$INTERFACE
                if [ -x "$script" ]; then
                    debug_mesg invoke "$script" --quiet start
                    exec "$script" --quiet start
                fi
            else
                mesg "how do I bring interfaces up on this distro?"
            fi
            ;;

must be written as:
debug_mesg "invoke \"$script\" --quiet start"

Ok, I've fixed the second issue.

How should the first one be fixed?
