Udev deals with just about every device. All the entries in /dev are
created by udev. There is actually a file system mounted on top of
/dev that is managed by udev. If you look at /dev after booting form
a live CD, you will see only a few entries - just enough to get the
system started. How much HAL gets in the act depends on the HAL
rules. There is a udev rule that tells HAL about every device that
is added. It gets more complicated all the time!
# pass all events to the HAL daemon
RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event"
