udev manages the /dev tree from userspace based on the kernel
information in sysfs.  A good summary of it is at:
	http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sids16

There's also some older info linked off of:
	www.kroah.com/linux/
to an OLS paper, an OLS presentation, and a more recent OSCON
presentation on it.

Hope this helps explain it.
