As usually, see the docs in /usr/share/doc/udev/ and the manpages (use "apropos udev" for the list of manpages related to udev).

Detecting hardware isn't udev's job. If the module isn't loaded autoamtically, you need to load them manually (or using /etc/modules) Regards, Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
