project to create support within the Linux kernel (see

> for

more information) for handling Plug and Play (and other semi-PnP)
|
|
devices in a clean, consistent way. It aims to allow a driver of any
|
|
type of hardware to have this hardware configured by the PnP driver in
|
|
the kernel. This driver is then notified when the device is
|
|
reconfigured, or even removed from the system, so as to allow for
|
|
graceful action in these circumstances.
