Subject: [mm] Better help needed for UEVENT_HELPER_PATH
Date: Friday, September 28, 2007 - 1:21 pm

Current help for CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is:
   Path to uevent helper program forked by the kernel for
   every uevent.
With default value of /sbin/hotplug.

Help! I don't have /sbin/hotplug (Debian unstable, using udev).
What do I do now? Will my hardware be unsupported because I don't have
/sbin/hotplug?
Should I leave it at the default? Make it empty? Or do I need to replace 
hotplug by some other magic command?

Please extend the help text to give some context and indication of how to 
use this option.

This issue was raised before in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/18/160

Thanks,
FJP
