+\frametitle{What is UDEV?}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item UDEV is responsible for dynamic device management
+\item It receives so called uevents from the kernel via a netlink socket
+\item Based on the rules defined in the UDEV configuration, specific tasks can
+be performed (e.g. creating device nodes)
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{How to perform actions on ''missed'' uevents}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Since udev is a userspace process, it is started when the system is already up
+and running. To perform actions on the events, which have been generated
+during the kernel boot-up, there's a trigger functionality
+\item So, usually the first thing after starting udev is to trigger the missed events
+\item This can be done by calling ''udevadm trigger''
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{Monitoring udev events}
+\begin{verbatim}
+jan@bender:~$ sudo udevadm monitor
+monitor will print the received events for:
+UDEV - the event which udev sends out
+       after rule processing
+KERNEL - the kernel uevent
+KERNEL[129.916] add [...]usb1/1-3/1-3.1 [...]
+KERNEL[129.917] add [...]usb1/1-3/1-3.1 [...]
+KERNEL[129.918] add [...]usb1/1-3/1-3.1 [...]
+KERNEL[129.918] add [...]usb1/1-3/1-3.1 [...]
+UDEV  [129.922] add [...]usb1/1-3/1-3.1 [...]
+UDEV  [129.922] add [...]usb1/1-3/1-3.1 [...]
+[...]

+\frametitle{UDEV: important commands}
+Starting the UDEV Daemon:
+\begin{verbatim}
+udevd --daemon
+\end{verbatim}
+Triggering UDEV events:
+\begin{verbatim}
+udevadm trigger
+\end{verbatim}

+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Writing UDEV rules}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Rules are usually kept in /etc/udev/rules.d
+\item Rules are constructed using series of KEY-VALUE pairs
+\item The pairs are separated by commas
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Basic keywords}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item KERNEL\\
+The kernel name of a device
+\item SUBSYSTEM\\
+The name of the subsystem which caused the event
+\item DRIVER\\
+Name of the driver which caused the event
+\item NAME\\
+Name of the device node
+\item SYMLINK\\
+Name of a symlink pointing to the node
+\end{itemize}
