Relationship between udev, hal, Dbus and DeviceKit?

[Noe Misael]

Hi.

I'm trying to understand how modern linux systems handle hardware devices. I
have a general idea about how kernel drivers works and also have a general
idea about how udev is a layer between the kernel and user-space.

But when looking at HAL and Dbus, DeviceKit, Network Manager I started to
get confused.

Can anyone be so kind to explain me how are these software components
interacting with each other?
