Description of problem: This works: KERNEL=="video*", SYSFS{model}=="Pixart PAC207-BCA", SYMLINK+="webcam" and /dev/webcam points to the correct /dev/video*, whichever one matches the model. This doesn't - the /dev/DC10+ never gets created: KERNEL=="video*", SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", SYSFS{name}=="DC10plus_0_", SYSFS{dev}=="81:1", SYMLINK+="DC10plus", GROUP="video" This is the pci capture card. The definintions were taken directly from udevinfo. At Harald's suggestion I changed the kernel line to KERNEL=="video*", SYSFS{name}=="DC10plus_0_", SYMLINK+="DC10plus", GROUP="video" This is the udevinfo: looking at device '/class/video4linux/video1': KERNEL=="video1" SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux" SYSFS{name}=="DC10plus_0_" SYSFS{dev}=="81:1" udevtest /class/video4linux/video1 output shows udevtest /class/video4linux/video1 main: looking at device '/class/video4linux/video1' from subsystem 'video4linux' udev_rules_get_name: no node name set, will use kernel name 'video1' udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/class@video4linux@video1: No such file or directory udev_node_add: creating device node '/dev/video1', major = '81', minor = '1', mode = '0660', uid = '0', gid = '0' main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor' main: run: '/lib/udev/udev_run_devd' main: run: 'socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' main: run: '/sbin/pam_console_apply /dev/video1 ' Originally the rule was created as /etc/udev/rules.d/99-DC10.rules At Harald's suggestion I changed that to /etc/udev/rules.d/09-DC10.rules The symlink still does not get created.
Does the problem still exist on F7/F8 ??

In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.

I'm currently running Rawhide. I would like to keep this bug open and follow up with a suitable report once F9 has gone Gold. Thank you.
Please try: SYSFS{name}=="DC10plus*" it should work fine. There was a recent fix to make udevinfo not mangle the printed ATTR string: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=573bdd7e7588b70105c2976859696037899e9d4d
fix is not yet in F9
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I no longer have F9 or the hardware that required this, so can't assist any further in testing. I therefore agree that it should be closed now.
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
