I'm implementing a small device. I usually start with a kernel. In<br>
this case 2.6.38. I then start adding stuff ontop of it or writing<br>
programs to do much of the work.<br>
<br>
I'm at the point where I want to add USB mass storage support. In 2.4.X<br>
I used /sbin/hotplug and wrote a C program that loaded the necessary<br>
drivers for the specific USB devices I wanted to support. I'm not sure<br>
what the best method is in 2.6.38 would be.<br>
