I won't get around to it until the end of the week, that's for sure. I'd 
rather spend an evening or two thinking about the proper interface, than 
whiz-bang something together that needs updating 3 times... Though all 
input is welcome. So I'm afraid it will be too late for your project :-( 

I'm still a bit curious though... who do you need the exact mapping from 
usb device to device node? (you can answer privately if you don't want to 
clutter the list).

 - Nemosoft
