Details

An updated hotplug package is available that fixes a minor issue in the
source package.

The hotplug package contains the application which is called by the kernel
when a USB, PCI, or Firewire device is added; hotplug then loads the
required modules for that device and performs any appropriate setup.

The hotplug source rpm contained a firmware file which was not freely
redistributable; this has been corrected.

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
