[TriLUG] Problems with Fedora 7 and Hotplug

[Roy Vestal]

hmmm....didn't look at dmesg, looked at /var/log/messages


tail -f /var/log/messages shows:

Dec 4 14:19:15 computer-name kernel: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device 
using uhci_hcd and address 35
Dec 4 14:19:16 computer-name kernel: usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen 
from 1 choice
Dec 4 14:19:16 computer-name kernel: usb0: register 'zaurus' at 
usb-0000:00:1d.3-1, Sharp Zaurus SL-5x00, 1a:d9:c4:d3:be:56

dmesg shows:
usb0: unregister 'zaurus' usb-0000:00:1d.3-1, Sharp Zaurus SL-5x00
usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 34
usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb0: register 'zaurus' at usb-0000:00:1d.3-1, Sharp Zaurus SL-5x00, 
1a:d9:c4:d3:be:56

but hotplug is not starting usbnet.

I verified the script:
[root at computer-name ~]# ifconfig | grep usb0 | wc -l
0

If I manually run the script /etc/hotplug/usb/usbnet:

[root at computer-name ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages
