Notes
(0000234) db 06-07-05 08:18	No no no. There are multiple tasks that hotplug addresses, and only one of them involves modules. Two others that don't involve modules are (a) running device setup scripts, e.g. telling a daemon about the device, and (b) doing the stuff "udev" does, making device nodes. Plus, buildroot should not depend on having a kernel built; it's just there to build the root file system. At this point only pcmcia-cs even thinks it needs a kernel (bridge module patch is in the patch database) and even that's just because of stupid build rules in the pcmcia tools package ... soon to be replaced by normal hotplugging. Do NOT merge this patch!
