Everytime I connect my digital camera to my PC (via USB) I have to manually load (modprobe) usb-storage.
Is there a way to load it automatically when needed?

I don't want to put it in modules.autoload

Thanks

you can compile it like core, not a module in your kernel

To automatically detect the device and load the modules:
Code:

emerge hotplug
/etc/init.d/hotplug start
rc-update add hotplug default


From my /etc/fstab:
Code:

/dev/sdc1           /home/diva  vfat        rw,noauto,users,uid=1000,gid=100    0 0

It will show up as a SCSI device and can be mounted as such.
