[maemo-developers] Community Kernels garage project created

[From: Faheem Pervez]

Hi,

Wow, congratulations! I've applied to join. I'm not a programmer but I have
had enough experience with the maemo kernels (porting patches etc) to think
I am eligible for joining :).

Have you looked at usb(lan, mouse etc)?
It uses your dbus-scripts, an udev rule and an init script to automatically
load modules when an usb device is inserted.

Hopefully I didn't misread the question.
