Hello, all

After some investigation, I concluded that I should be using udev
instead of hotplug. So, I edited /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules, and
added the following line:


ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="45e/ce/0", RUN+="/etc/udev/scripts/ipaq.sh"

Still no cigar, tho. I checked what happens with udevmonitor, and the values (ACTION, SUBSYSTEM and PRODUCT) are correct.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mariano Lopez Reta
