Use hotplug_path

Completly untested ( but should works ) patch to use hotplug defined at
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug in prism25 driver.

description: 
DrakConnect detects and configures my Syntax USB-400 NIC. prism2-utils is
installed and prism2_usb is loaded successfully, but the NIC won't even turn on.
ifcfg-wlan0 reports the MAC address as zeros. If I do a "wlanctl-ng wlan0
lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable" then it seems to wake up, but then a "ifup wlan0"
rejects the MAC. I then correct the MAC in ifcfg-wlan0, but a "ifup wlan0" then
reports that it cannot set any settings, such as

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

Now wlanfe _almost_ works. It also needs "wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate
ifstate=enable" to do anything, but it least turns the NIC on and tries to
connect to my network. (WEP doesn't work, and going open works but doesn't get
an ip from DHCP.) 

I grepped "usb" from messages:

Aug 31 10:29:48 tecra kernel: prism2usb_init: dev_info is: prism2_usb
Aug 31 10:29:48 tecra kernel: usbcore: registered new driver prism2_usb
Aug 31 10:31:06 tecra drakconnect[4179]: No settings found for driver
"prism2_usb" in category "wireless"
Aug 31 10:50:15 tecra drakconnect[4179]: adding alias wlan0 to prism2_usb

syslog says about the same thing.

Let me know what else I need to report.
