Uncommenting that line gives no result.

Changing the line:

 udev_log="err"

into:

 udevcontrol log_priority=0

eliminates the undesired message when plugging in the usb pendrive.  But then
my bluetooth-usb adaptor is not recongnized by the system any more, and when I
unplug it the following message appears:

 usb 1-2: can't set config #1, error -110

.  How can I fix that?

It appears on all terminals.
Thanks indeed!
