As Pat showed, this was never checked. With his patch, it should be
now. Will that give you enough to match properly without needing your
script?

It still doesn't work, but I don't think it's because of the wildcard
any more. I can actually see that rule match in the debug output.
How important is the order in which you specify your 'FOO="bar",' rules
in udev.rules? Don't you have to start with the specifications that are
lowest in the tree and work up from there? The "goto try_parent" is a
pop off the stack, and you don't ever get back down to the children.
Maybe I just missed this until now.
Also, I think I'm getting some garbage in the SYSFS_serial variable.
When I get down to the match_rule() area for SYSFS_serial="...", I get
some output in the debug log like this:
compare_sysfs_attribute: compare attribute 'serial' value '0A4110002CEA'
with 'HXOLL0012202323480'
But, I have no idea where HXOLL0012202323480 came from.
'grep -r HXOLL0012202323480 /sys' comes up with nothing.
Any ideas? Is that some memory garbage from somewhere?

Very important. They are evaluated in the order in which they show up
in the udev.rules file.

You need to put the rules that are the most specific first in the list.
Put more general ones at the end to catch anything not found above them.

What type of device is this that exports a serial number in sysfs? A
USB device? If so, remember, USB serial numbers can change on you
(nasty isn't it) as they are read from the device when asked for.
Perhaps this is what is happening.
Try enabling CONFIG_USB_DEBUG in your kernel and look at your kernel
log when the device is inserted. It will tell you what the serial
number is for the device at that point in time. See if that matches up
with what udev is reading from sysfs.
That data looks too text like to be random garbage (but I could be
wrong.)
thanks,

udevinfo still reports the serial as being 0A4110002CEA. Isn't that the
important part?
