Pretty much all the distributions have switched over to udev now.

Looks like devfs is really gone this time Posted Aug 29, 2005 6:24 UTC (Mon) by gavino (guest, #16214) [Link] OpenWRT, which is an embedded distro I've installed on my Linksys WRT54G wireless router, is running DevFS. The point is moot though as OpenWRT uses the 2.4 kernel. It is a 'current distro' though, albeit an esoteric one.
Looks like devfs is really gone this time Posted Aug 29, 2005 17:59 UTC (Mon) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] The WRT distros still use 2.4 because they depend on a binary-only driver for the Broadcom 802.11x chips, right?

There is broadcom driver reverse engineering effort at http://linux-bcom4301.sourceforge.net/go/progress

Gentoo is in fact the udev 'flagship.'
