Older versions of hotplug and Linux1394 drivers only recognized a SBP-2 storage device and loaded the corresponding sbp2 driver; however, it did not register any devices with the SCSI subsystem. New versions of Linux 1394 drivers (kernel 2.4.21+ or Subversion branches/linux-2.4) support hotplug for a number of device types including DV AV/C devices and Digital Camera. In order to fully leverage this, a new hotplug agent script is available now in Linux-Hotplug CVS. As of this writing (April 23, 2003), it is newer than what appears in any of the popular distributions. Specifically, you need to replace /etc/hotplug/ieee1394.agent. Next, make sure an /etc/hotplug/ieee1394 directory exists. Then, you can create per-module scripts to make SCSI recognize partitions or start video applications.
