Hmm, I thought udev and hotplug worked together. Thought it
was something along the lines that hotplug would do the triggering
of driver module loading based on what new pci/usb ids showed up
on the system, since udev doesn't actually perform module loading
afaik. Hotplug is/was also responsible for firmware loading, but
I'm not sure if that is true anymore ...
Truthfully, I can't provide much to this discussion as I haven't
really bothered to look into it for a while...
