Just discovered that this morning! Had made the assumption it was
automatically enabled, but only clued onto it when I noticed udevmonitor
wasn't giving only UEVENT output, not UDEV output. Should have been obvious,
but I kept barking up the wrong tree!

So, turning out to be a good chance to learn how the lower levels of a linux
system work and managed to learn exactly how udev works while stumbling on
this one.
Thanks for the reply
