Upgrading to this udev stopped my ipw2200 card working

/var/log/messages shows:

this didn't seem to be an issue at first, but then all of a sudden my
wireless card stopped working regardless of the kernel I tried.

Downgrading udev to udev-058-1.0.FC4.1 see my ipw2200 card working fine
again.

Want me to file a bug report?
