[RESOLVED] udev rules are always ignored.

#/etc/udev/rules.d/powersave.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="wlp4s0", RUN+="/usr/sbin/iw dev %k set power_save on"

I have a simple udev rule like the above, but it's always ignored. Any ideas?
btw, udevadm test can pass.

Thanks.

Re: [RESOLVED] udev rules are always ignored.

What happens if you follow the udev rule naming convention and supply a numeric prefix such as 90-

KERNEL=="wlp4s0"

I would be suspicious of that. That's a name created by udev rules AIUI, so I would recommend using 91-blah.rules to ensure that the normal rules are processed *first*.

Just match on something easy, like ATTR{address}.

I changed it to KERNEL="wl*", and it works. Thanks!
