>Description:

 Trying to place device entries in new files in /etc/devd does not have any effect.
If I add the following to /etc/devd.conf:
attach 10 {
        device-name "ipw[0-9]+";
        action "/etc/pccard_ether $device-name start";
};
detach 10 {
        device-name "ipw[0-9]+";
        action "/etc/pccard_ether $device-name stop";
};


 Then it has the desired effect. But if instead I place that in a file /etc/devd/ipw,
nothing happens. Running devd -D -d shows that it "parses /etc/devd", but ipw[]
is not in the list of things it matches against

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
 Place a rule file in /etc/devd/foo, and try to attach the corresponding device.
