[SOLVED] missing acl entries after udev-197-r4 upgrade

dear forum,

using a fully unstable hardened system, I recently upgraded udev to 197-r4, and at least the sound cards and 3g modem seems to be missing the usual consolekit (?) related acl entries.
adding my user to the respective groups (audio for sound card, uucp for 3g modem) fixed the issue - at least temporarily.

I am using KDE (4.9.98/4.10_RC3) with the entire *kit (consolekit, polkit et all) stuff enabled.
Sound is (again) plain alsa, 3g modem is handled via networkmanager.

So the questions are:
Did someone else experience a similar behaviour?
Am I on the right track? or is this behaviour coming from somewhere else?
What are the downsides of removing *kit? What are the upsides?

Are the other aspects, I have not take into account?

I'll update the post later on with emerge --info - or any other information if required.

V.

Those entries come from consolekit now - the rules should be in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-udev-acl.rules.

Thanks for the hint.
I'll have a look later on - once I am back home at my machine - and report back.

It is working again.
I am not quite sure what I did, apart from a complete reboot.

As discussed here, I verified if the acl useflag had been set for consolekit, and it has been.

marking resolved.

The udev-acl rules shipped with ConsoleKit are propably outdated for sys-fs/udev-197 and higher. I think I might need to backport some of the code that went in at the time udev-acl .rules file was renamed to be acl .rules from the old git before it was merged to systemd git.
This is my conclusion after reading git logs around the udev-acl code.

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Duplicate Threads in favor of udev-197 and sound as requested by ssuominen.
