[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Migrating from hotplug (sarge) to udev (etch)

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

after upgrading from sarge to etch, my bluetooth network was broken. Not a big 
surprise, it used hotplug and hotplug is gone in etch.

In sarge, I had an USB bluetooth dongle integrated in the sarge hotplug system 
by adding a hotplug script, which basically detects that the dongle was 
attached and restarts bluez-utils which then starts pand.

Has anybody an example how I would do something like this in the etch udev 
environment?

Many thanks,
Rainer

This is for reference the (old) hotplug script:

rd at topsi:~$ cat /etc/hotplug.d/usb/epox-bluetooth.hotplug
#!/bin/sh

# Hotplug script for the Epox BT-DG02A bluetooth dongle for Debian Linux 3.1
#
# The dongle reports several attachments. Therefore we filter for the VERSION.
# pand is started with /etc/init.d/bluez-utils, we restart bluez-utils when a
# dongle is plugged in. On a coldplug (usb dongle is in the system on boot),
# this hotplug script fails (called by rcS.d/S40hotplug), but the regular
# bluez-utils start script rc2.d/S25bluez-utils starts pand in this case

# The direct start-stop-daemon calls are legacy code and should be
# removed if this setup is solid.

pidfile=/var/run/pand.pid
DAEMON=/usr/bin/pand

                # restart bluez-utils because it might not started up

                sleep 2 # required for some reason
