I don't think so, at least in my case. I had stuck some "ls -l" logging
in my scripts. When it gets to my script I get something like:
rw------- root root /dev/video1
After waiting a while, I get
rw-rw---- root video /dev/video1
If ivtv isn't loaded there is no /dev/video1. It seems more like the
module is loading but then the udev rules aren't being applied for a
while. I'm not sure what's causing the delay but it can be 6 seconds or
more in my case.
