Yup, that's the one

I find udev to be a wonderful solution to a tricky problem, but be 
warned - it has a history of changing rapidly with confusing results. 
But having said that it does seem to have stabilised nicely in recent 
times - Greg KH must be finding less and less stuff to take out and 
thus achieving perfection in design.

The wiki page is a good read and an excellent thing to know a lot about 
IMHO
