Just tested the new udev with a 2.6.12 kernel and your right. udevinfo doesn't
provide information about a device node when it's not stored in the udevdb.. So
either udevinfo needs to be fixed to still give the needed info (sysfs->dev
node mapping) or hal need to get the logic needed to do that..
I guess it would be better if udevinfo was changed to provide the information,
instead of implementing the logic in each app that needs to get it. But i don't
know what the udev maintainers think of that..
Unfortunately i'm leaving for a holiday tomorrow, so i can't look at it in the
coming two weeks..
