I am an expert at neither kernel or udev writing, but I do read the
man pages and I think some things need to be said.
First, udev is instructed by the kernel to write a thing in /dev/.
If this happens then the event can be completed. If the kernel words are
garbled or udev can't read it because it is too new, then udev does
nothing.
I think the interface between udev and the old kernel is just fine
and this is why the USB ports work. I think the new kernel and the
present udev are not talking.
The fix to this problem is either a rewrite of udev or a rewrite of
the kernel. The fix also needs a person who has hands on experiance with
both the kernel and udev.
This sounds simple but it is not simple at all.
There are several different threads going about this. I thought someone
else solved the same problem by picking up a newer udev package from the
rawhide repo and keeping the current fedora kernel - so it must already
be done.
