+Those scripts are an example on how to allow media:/ to use
+hotplugging events if you don't use HAL. They're targeting
+"Linux 2.6 + hotplug + udev" platforms, but we can surely make
+something equivalent for Linux 2.4, FreeBSD...

+own version (I'm currently using them on Debian Sid, Linux 2.6.9
+though).

+1) mediamanager_usbstorage.dev
+This file only needs to be copied to /etc/dev.d/default

+/etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam.usermap must exists (you can use
+libgphoto2's print-usb-usermap command to create it)
