Greetings,
I've taken the plunge into the world of USB in linux, by purchasing a 
Philips USB webcam.  The cam is definitely supported under linux, so 
that's not my problem.  What i'm confused about is the entire process of 
'hotplugging'.  I read the material on linux-hotplug.sf.net, and it 
seems that i need to have some kind of hotplug init script in order to 
run a hotplug daemon at bootup.  My problem is that i can't find where 
to get such an init script anywhere.  Also, i'm not clear on where or 
how i setup the hotplug binary to act as a daemon.

thanks
