This makes sense and thank you. > But that will have to wait till there is time for that part.

I think the overhead of parsing will be small compared to the act of the device being added to a system. This sort of code is not time critical. It would be nice to be able to edit rc.conf reinsert the device and see what happens. > > But that is something that would have to be discussed as soon as someone > want's to start an implementation. > Yes I agree. Do you think hot-plug support is a suitable GSoC project for next year? Thank you for investigating this.
