What consider you a default one? There are so many distros and systems
out in the wild, even the Busybox snapshot archives contain two or three
different mdev configurations (as examples). SO I can't tell you
anything specific, without seeing what your configuration describes.
mdev either scans /sys/class/... for devices entries or picks up hotplug
event messages, then search the /etc/mdev.conf for a matching device
entry. Then it does create/remove device nodes according to the given
information. This includes moving location (e.g. into a subdirectory),
creating symlinks, setting owner, group and permissions. Everything mdev
does is controlled by the rules in mdev.conf, but it may contain catch
all rules to do some default action.
A short search on the net gave me the following line:
$DEVNAME=bus/usb/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+) root:plugdev 0660 =bus/usb/%1/%2
Put this in your mdev.conf, may be it catches the names of your kernel.
