The device itself does not have a DRIVER value set. We need to select a parent device with BUS to match against DRIVER, but unfortunately there are pci devices in the higher chain which don't have a driver value, so BUS=="?*", DRIVER!="?*" will not work. I see currently no easy solution other than using PHYSDEVDRIVER, until we know how to solve that. > > I attach a copy of /sys/class/net/eth* as described in #368845. > > Kernel 2.6.16-2-k7 (2.6.16-15), there are no 'driver' symlinks. > They are in the device/ directory. Care to provide: udevinfo -a -p /class/net/eth0 That should print all the DRIVER= values, just to check if that is correct.
