According to the document "Writing rules for udev" included in the udev 092 tarball (which does, however, seem to be slightly out of date), this is not the case. "The * operator is used here, which matches literally anything - zero, one, or more characters of any kind." So capi* will match capi (which is apparently a possible device, judging by the previous rule), but cape[0-9]* won't. The only way the old and new patterns would be equivalent is if KERNEL matches NAMEs that have been set earlier on, which is non-intuitive if it is the case (I'd expect KERNEL to match the name the kernel gave it, and only that name). > KERNEL=="vcs*", GROUP="tty" This should match vcs for the same reason, so the additional rule in the second email (KERNEL=="vcs") should be unnecessary.
