In fact, when the kernel advocates udev, working around it is no solution, but finding the problem and fixing the basic problem is more important, rather than workarounds. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html If there is a general udev issue, it should be taken up with udev and not working around within adapter drivers.
