That's broken.  There should be a /etc/udev directory, with a
file, udev.conf, and a sub-directory named rules.d with several
files in it.  (This is from my live F17 box.)

Did you install _ab initio_, or did you attempt to upgrade?  I
don't care which distro it is, upgrades are more of a pain than
installing to bare metal.


I won't be available for the rest of the day; so I won't be able
to help any further.  Sorry 'bout that.
