Some devices, such as the DVBSky S952 and T982 cards, are dual port cards that provide two cx23885 devices on the same PCI device, which means the attributes available for writing udev rules are exactly the same, apart from the adapter number. Unfortunately, the adapter numbers are dependent on the order in which things are initialised, so this can change over different releases of the kernel.
The struct cx23885_tsport has a port number available, which is printed during boot: [ 10.951517] DVBSky T982 port 1 MAC address: 00:17:42:54:09:87 ... [ 10.984875] DVBSky T982 port 2 MAC address: 00:17:42:54:09:88 To make it possible to distinguish these in udev, do the following steps: (1) Save the port number into struct dvb_adapter. (2) Provide sysfs attributes to export port number and also MAC address, adapter number and type. There are other fields that could perhaps be exported also. The new sysfs attributes can be seen from userspace as: [root@deneb ~]# ls /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/ dev device dvb_adapter dvb_mac dvb_port dvb_type power subsystem uevent [root@deneb ~]# cat /sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0/dvb_* 0 00:17:42:54:09:87 0 frontend They can be used in udev rules: SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x14f1", ATTRS{device}=="0x8852", ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x0982", ATTR{dvb_mac}=="00:17:42:54:09:87", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter9820/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c" SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x14f1", ATTRS{device}=="0x8852", ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x0982", ATTR{dvb_mac}=="00:17:42:54:09:88", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter9821/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c" where the match is made with ATTR{dvb_mac} or similar. The rules above make symlinks from /dev/dvb/adapter982/* to /dev/dvb/adapterXX/*. Note that binding the dvb-net device to a network interface and changing it there does not reflect back into the the dvb_adapter struct and doesn't change the MAC address here. This means that a system with two identical cards in it may need to distinguish them by some other means than MAC address.
