Just the same output, however I ask the question:

[root@beast ~]# udevinfo -q all -p /devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:1f.2
no record for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2' in database
[root@beast ~]# udevinfo -q all -p /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2
no record for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2' in database
[root@beast ~]# udevinfo -q all -p /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2
no record for '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2' in database
[root@beast ~]#

And all with "-a" instead of "-q all" produce the output I posted before.

Please don't feel you have to turn this into a project, though.

Cheers,
