Problem with mdev, wildcards and subdirectory renaming

[Scott McNab]

Hi.

I'm using busybox 1.12.1 and linux kernel 2.6.26.5 and am trying to get mdev
to correctly place the ALSA sound devices under /dev/snd/, using wildcard
device matching.

Here is an excerpt from my /etc/mdev.conf file:

hwC* 0:18 0660
=snd/

pcmC* 0:18 0660
=snd/

midiC* 0:18 0660
=snd/

controlC* 0:18 0660 =snd/

This does NOT work as expected - the devices are created in /dev rather than
/dev/snd.

The strange thing however is that it DOES work if I specify the full device
name. i.e.:

pcmC0D0c 0:18 0660 =snd/
pcmC0D0p 0:18 0660 =snd/

Why does it work if I specify the full device name, and now when I use a
wildcard? Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

Thanks
Scott
