7 Just wondering if anyone else besides the one user who's reported a

10 I realise people are experimenting with mdev and static devices; the latter
11 in particular would be of interest on that forum thread, but I'd also like
12 to know if anyone has got any feedback on udev without initramfs, especially

15 I'm not knocking the mdev option, and would love to see a forum thread on
16 how to set that up: the more options the better AFAIC. Just that udev is the
17 official upstream kernel thing, AFAIK, and might be more suited for the
18 general desktop end-user, especially with devices that only have udev helper
19 scripts (eg I've heard about wifi and bluetooth.)
