how to check if hal is ready

[Marko Anastasov]

Hal is always ready :).
What do you exactly mean by "getting no response to a usb stick"
and if "it's completely ready"? What are you trying to do?
>From what i know, a volume is ready when it's mounted. In any case,
you need to register a callback to watch a device's properties:

libhal_ctx_set_device_property_modified(hal_context,
                                        on_hal_property_modified);
libhal_device_property_watch_all(hal_context, &dbus_error);

In on_hal_property_modified you can check if a volume is mounted,
and then if its' corresponding device is the one you're watching.
Or i missed your point.
