+      <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+        <para>udev provides a dynamic device directory containing only the files for
+        actually present devices. It creates or removes device node files in the
+        <filename>/dev</filename> directory, or it renames network interfaces.</para>
+
+        <para>Usually udev runs as <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udevd</refentrytitle>
+        <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and receives uevents directly from the
+        kernel if a device is added or removed form the system.</para>
+
+        <para>If udev receives a device event, it matches its configured rules
+        against the available device attributes provided in sysfs to identify the device.
+        Rules that match, may provide additional device information or specify a device
+        node name and multiple symlink names and instruct udev to run additional programs
+        as part of the device event handling.</para>
+      </refsect1>
+
+      <refsect1><title>CONFIGURATION</title>
+        <para>All udev configuration files are placed in <filename>/etc/udev/*</filename>.
+        Every file consists of a set of lines of text. All empty lines or lines beginning
+        with '#' will be ignored.</para>
+
+        <refsect2><title>Configuration file</title>
+          <para>udev expects its main configuration file at <filename>/etc/udev/udev.conf</filename>.
+          It consists of a set of variables allowing the user to override default udev values.
+          The following variables can be set:</para>
+          <variablelist>

+
+        <refsect2><title>Rules files</title>
+          <para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the
+          <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename> directory or at the location specified
+          value in the configuraton file. Every line in the rules file contains at least
+          one key value pair. There are two kind of keys, match and assignement keys.
+          If all match keys are matching against its value, the rule gets applied and the
+          assign keys get the specified value assigned. A matching rule may specify the
+          name of the device node, add a symlink pointing to the node, or run a specified
+          program as part of the event handling. If no matching rule is found, the default
+          device node name is used.</para>
+
+          <para>A rule may consists of a list of one or more key value pairs separated by
+          a comma. Each key has a distinct operation, depending on the used operator. Valid
+          operators are:</para>
