You can recomend different things for when an event occurs, for example when:

• Insert a pcmcia of network, the internet are configured automatically
• Connect a special hardware, a special application appears

For now if this is possible, you just need just to launch

eliveuser@elive[~]$ lshal -m

and look if it prints anything

For report the request, you need to trace the event, for this you just need to launch:

eliveuser@elive[~]$ lshal -l > lshal-1.txt

Now, plug the device or launch the event desired, wait 5 seconds and launch:

eliveuser@elive[~]$ lshal -l > lshal-2.txt
eliveuser@elive[~]$ diff lshal-1.txt lshal-2.txt | egrep "^>" > lshal-final.txt

The final file with the correct trace is the lshal-final.txt, you can attach it on this page and add a little description about what you have plugged and what you think to could be a good idea to implement
