Package: udev
Version: 0.082-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I have a system with an Asus motherboard with an on-board ethernet
socket, and two RealTek PCI boards. Using hotplug, this works all the
time. Using udev (which I was forced into today, with the new release
of pcmcia-cs), the boards are inconsistently recognized. Several
different boots has yielded different namings of the boards, and, worse,
in some of the boots only one or two of the boards were recognized.
I realize, from a cursory study of the documentation, that it is
possible to learn how to formulate udev rules that may work around this
problem. I could probably even figure out how to do it. But I don't
think that the package is ready for release if if does not have default rules to
handle this rather simple physical configuration.
I am very willing to provide additional information and work with you
maintainers to solve this problem. It only takes a few seconds to
replace hotplug with udev, and to switch back.
best regards
