[Mageia-discuss] Something wrong with the Udev-rules?

Sun Nov 27 14:07:10 CET 2011

I did some googleing on what Udev really is and what it's supposed to do 
+for you & this is the wiki-explananation of it:
+
+*"udev* is the device manager for the Linux kernel 
+<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel>. Primarily, it manages 
+device nodes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_node> in /dev 
+<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard>. It is the 
+successor of devfs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devfs> and hotplug, 
+which means that it handles the /dev directory and all user space 
+<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space> actions when adding/removing 
+devices, including firmware <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware> load."
+
+Now to my question.......
+
+If udev loads firmware, why does it not assign my Atheros 
+AR5001-cardmodule ath5k to something?
+
+I checked during the boot of any installation from tty using lsmod & 
+seeing that the module is indeed loaded, BUT it's not used by something.
