I need to test this, but anyhow...
As far as I can tell, the hotplugging is not hardcoded, but entirely
within rules/80-drivers.rules
If I am correct, you could enable use of Busybox via:

 sed -e 's/RUN{builtin}\(.*\)kmod load/RUN\1modprobe -ab/g' -i \
	"$pkgdir"/lib/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules

Testing that might be...interesting, though.
I shall try it once I'm out of mutt.

Thanks,
