The formerly used hotplug package is entirely replaced by udev and the udev-related kernel infrastructure. The following parts of the former hotplug infrastructure have been made obsolete or had their functionality taken over by udev:
/etc/hotplug/*.agentNo longer needed or moved to /lib/udev
/etc/hotplug/*.rcReplaced by the /sys/*/uevent trigger
/etc/hotplug/blacklistReplaced by the blacklist option in
modprobe.conf
/etc/dev.d/*Replaced by the udev rule RUN key
/etc/hotplug.d/*Replaced by the udev rule RUN key
/sbin/hotplugReplaced by udevd listening to netlink; only used in the initial RAM file system until the root file system can be mounted, then it is disabled
/dev/*Replaced by dynamic udev and static content in /lib/udev/devices/*
The following files and directories contain the crucial elements of the udev infrastructure:
/etc/udev/udev.confMain udev configuration file
/etc/udev/rules.d/*udev event matching rules
/lib/udev/devices/*
Static /dev content
/lib/udev/*Helper programs called from udev rules
