Hi Coert!

I haven't figured it out how to enable udev and hotplug.

I know siso is very simple and lightweigth, but I don't have access to
another wifi card than Intel Pro Wireless. It would be great if you
write down the instructions to make this kind of cards with firmware
loading work with siso.

It's a great job you've done here. This is my first intent to build a
distro from scratch and I've learned a lot, but still there are some
concepts I don't fully understand such as devfs, udev, ramdisk,
initrd, initramfs, chroot, pivot_root, hotplug, etc.... I know I would
learn all those things along the way but now I'm kind of stuck here
trying to make this card to work.

Thanks. Keep on the good work.

Generally there is no need to use the hotplug subsystem for as long as you
do not insert or unplug the card while running. Instead an init script will
"manually" load the driver, instead of relying on the hot plug subsystem.

Sorry for being brief, but I have some other things going on at the moment.
