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?
Looks like devfs is really gone this time Posted Aug 29, 2005 20:11 UTC (Mon) by nchip (guest, #13292) [Link] That, and the fact that 2.6 kernels are bigger (atleast without serioustweaking), and thus slow on on systems with little memory and slow caches. There is broadcom driver reverse engineering effort at http://linux-bcom4301.sourceforge.net/go/progress
