I think it never worked in the udevstart case. It worked only with the
hotplug-event-udev, I expect.

Yeah, network devices don't have a devnode and therefore no "dev", but
they are all in /sys/class/net/. We may just test if we are there
instead of the "device" match.
Btw: Greg, what's the reason not to use libsysfs for the directory walk?
