Hotplugging is simply done by the kernel calling /sbin/hotplug when
some hotplug event occurs. So as such, I don't see how busybox should
have support for it.

Have a look at the linux-hotplug project on sourceforge, they have all
the bash scripts that allow you to hotplug stuff.

Note that I said "bash", their scripts use some bash-isms, but if you
look at some recent mails in the mailing lists, you can find patches to
make those script work with plain sh and thus busybox.

Cheers,

Wout.
