I think his use-case was more at people who regularly plug multiple similar serial devices into their own systems; i.e. engineers. In that case, having each device pop up and announce unambiguously its own name is a fantastically useful thing. Having a single device reliably show up in the same place is something udev rules can easily achieve, I use it for my archival USB drives ... -jim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
