Description
The build already handles grabbing kernel modules and stuffing them into the rootfs. So the modules are there. What isn't there is automated device handling. That would be udev. mdev is not sufficient if BeagleBox is to permit hotplugging any old wireless network adapter. So we need to integrate the use of udev.
To get started, read these:
