The kernel creates a process for every event that is send, even when there is no binary it could execute. We are needlessly creating around 200-300 failing processes during early bootup, until we have the chance to disable it from userspace. This change allows us to disable /sbin/hotplug entirely, if you want to, by setting UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" in the kernel config.

Select this option if you don't have magic firmware for drivers that

need it.

Say yes to avoid building firmware. Firmware is usually shipped

with the driver, and only when updating the firmware a rebuild
|

should be made.
