    Hi,

    I am trying to put together a devd rule for attaching a usb keyboard. The
    problem is that the usb device is called ukbd0 while the keyboard needs to
    be referred to as kbd1.

    attach 10 {
            device-name "ukbd[0-9]+";
            action "kbdcontrol -k /dev/$device-name < /dev/console";
    };
    detach 10 {
            device-name "ukbd[0-9]+";
            action "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0";
    };

    This obviously doesnt work as /dev/ukbd0 doesnt exist, anyone know a way
    in devd to translate it to /dev/kbd1?

    maybe something like kbd($device-number + 1)

    A better solution would be if the kbd1 device caused a devd event when
    attached, which it does not seem to.

    thanks

    Andy
