/dev/radio disappeared

[520091033440-0001]

Hi,

I have a Hauppauge TV-card with integrated radio receiver. In the past
there was a /dev/radio device. For some days this device disappered.
I find now a /dev/v4l/radio0 device. If I link this device
to /dev/radio, also my radio programm (gqradio) works. I suppose this
behaviour is related to the new udev version (068).

What would you recommend to handle this situation:
1) change the configuration of application programms, if possible, that
they are looking for /dev/v4l/radio0 instead of /dev/radio.
2) create the link from /dev/v4l/radio0 to /dev/radio in a boot script
(e.g. /etc/conf.d/local.start at gentoo)
3) create a udev rule, which creates this link?

With best regards
	Juergen

According to the Gentoo udev.rules file, the video* and vbi* devices create
a LSB compatible symlink. Just add the same kind of SYMLINK+= for to the
radio* devices.

What distro is this?  If Gentoo, please just file a bug in that
bugzilla, this isn't a udev specific issue, but rather how Gentoo is
configured.

thanks,
