Ok, I had the last two rules but not the first two ones. I added them.

Good to know, I was not aware of that.

Well thanks a lot for your help, but despite of adding the rules +
cleaning 10-udev.hotplug from /etc/hotplug.d, I see no difference... :-/

Here are some more informations that can be useful :

$ ll /etc/hotplug.d/default/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   24 2005-10-07 13:42 20-hal.hotplug
-> /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 2931 2005-10-07 13:33 default.hotplug

So if I well understood, hal communicate with udev via the execution
of /etc/hotplug.d/default, who is launched
with /sbin/udev_run_hotplugd ?

I have nothing in /etc/dev.d/ except that :

$ ll /etc/dev.d/snd/controlC0/alsa.dev
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 46 2005-09-15
01:19 /etc/dev.d/snd/controlC0/alsa.dev

Am I supposed to have something in there ?

Thanks again for your help.
