Kernels and udev

[Karl Larsen]

	I am an expert at neither kernel or udev writing, but I do read the man 
pages and I think some things need to be said.

	First, udev is instructed by the kernel to write a thing in /dev/. If 
this happens then the event can be completed. If the kernel words are 
garbled or udev can't read it because it is too new, then udev does nothing.

	I think the interface between udev and the old kernel is just fine and 
this is why the USB ports work. I think the new kernel and the present 
udev are not talking.

	The fix to this problem is either a rewrite of udev or a rewrite of the 
kernel. The fix also needs a person who has hands on experiance with 
both the kernel and udev.

	This sounds simple but it is not simple at all.
