<para>Also, as a temporary workaround, this is what a device node
should be named; usually the kernel provides the defined node name or creates
and removes the node before udev even receives any event. Changing
the node name from the kernel's default creates inconsistencies
and is not supported. If the kernel and NAME specify different names,
an error is logged. Udev is only expected to handle device node
an error is logged. udev is only expected to handle device node
permissions and to create additional symlinks, not to change
kernel-provided device node names. Instead of renaming a device node,
SYMLINK should be used. Symlink names must never conflict with
device node names, it results in unpredictable behavior.</para>
