NAME

       check_driver - Linux 2.6(.16+) userspace device rebinding helper.

SYNOPSIS

       check_driver driver devpath bustype

DESCRIPTION

       This is a RUN script that may be invoked from a udev rule to ensure the
       correct driver is bound to a particular device, in situations  where  a
       basic  driver  may  bind  to  it  first  but  a more specialised one is
       available.

EXAMPLE

       For the wacom device, a rule like this is used:

       KERNEL=="event[0-9]*",     SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a",      ACTION=="add",
       RUN+="/sbin/check_driver wacom $devpath $env{ID_BUS}"
