Comment:
Testing on udev-104, passing /sys/... to udevtest and udevinfo works. So,
I'd suggest fixing all cases of udevtest and udevinfo in the book to
prefixing the path with /sys. New users are only going to get confused by
"sysfs is the root for udev".
As for why this is about network interfaces, the original problem reported
by Peter was that the network devices section suggests referencing
interfaces by their bus position when writing rules. But the book didn't
say how to get the bus position.
Peter suggested using lspci, but since it would have to come from the
host, I suggested looking at the symlink in /sys/class/net/*/device. Now
we have that in the book:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter07/network.html
So, this can be closed except for adding /sys to the example
udev{test,info} commands. I'll fix that part up and close this.
