Hi Adrian,

I actually still like to see capifs removed completely. It is not really
needed if you gonna use udev. The only thing that it is doing, is to set
the correct permissions and make sure that the device nodes are created.
And with a 2.6 kernel this can be all done by udev.

Regards

Marcel
