Heh, the only issue might be that I wrote that page for Linux 2.4 with
devfs. If you are using 2.6 and/or udev you might have to tweak some of the
scripts yourself. I haven't had the time to migrate my laptop (the box I
primarily use hotplug/autofs on) to 2.6 yet so I couldn't tell you offhand
what changes.
