Description Erik Wasser 2006-04-25 10:34:25 UTC

I've got the following mini script in '/etc/hotplug/usb/ct-includ-display' (plus an usermap):

echo "$PRODUCT $ACTION $DEVICE" >>/tmp/foo.log

case $PRODUCT in
    07c0/1501/*) :;;    # My device?
    *) exit 0;;         # no match? exit!
esac
...more stuff...

You see I've added some logging stuff at the top of the script. If the script is called from coldplug (reboot) $PRODCUT is set to the string '07c0'. If I replug the device $PRODUCT is set to '7c0' (without the missing zero). This was very confusing and of course inconsistent.

I'm using:

coldplug-20040920
hotplug-base-20040401
hotplug-20040923-r2

sys-apps/hotplug is useless with any recent udev version, and 2.4 kernels are no longer supported. Unmerge it and move on.

WONTFIX.

Thanks for the feedback. I've removed the packages from my system.
