Well, I have a nokia cable that has these attributes: SYSFS{idProduct}=="2303" SYSFS{idVendor}=="067b" SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Prolific Technology Inc." SYSFS{product}=="USB-Serial Controller" I could easily write a rule that would create a /dev/pl2303 (or whatever) to differentiate it from the palm, but that would be a bit ad-hoc. Maybe have something like SYMLINK+="usbserial%s{idProduct}" ? I understand that having it for all devices kind is a bit troublesome, and I'm beginning to believe device persistence can't be solved without some state saved somewhere, preferably by the application. I have to think a bit more about it. Xav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
