There is a difference between the scripts. The hw-detect version writes
some info to a file needed to support firmware loading.
There are however two issues.
1) The custom script never gets included in initrds as hw-detect gets
unpacked first and thus the original udev version of the script overwrites
the modified hw-detect version.
2) The two scripts get out of sync when there are upstream changes to the
script.
Note that the current version of the original script also has a facility to
register missing firmware.
The hw-detect version does:
echo "$PHYSDEVDRIVER $FIRMWARE" >>/tmp/missing-firmware
While the udev version does:
if [ -d /dev/.udev/ ]; then
mkdir -p /dev/.udev/firmware-missing/
file=$(echo "$FIRMWARE" | sed -e 's#/#\\x2f#g')
ln -s -f "$DEVPATH" /dev/.udev/firmware-missing/$file
fi
So, if we can somehow get the PHYSDEVDRIVER info from sysfs, we should be
able to just use the original version.
