Static naming for hiddev nodes

["Adam Kropelin" <akropel1@rochester.rr.com>]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to establish static naming for some hiddev devices 
(UPSes) based on serial numbers. I used to be able to do this fairly 
easily many moons ago in the early days of udev. Revisiting it on a 
modern distro (RHEL5) I am unable to make it work. Here are the udev 
rules I've tried and what happened with each....

    DRIVER="hiddev", SYSFS{serial}="JB0319039999", NAME="ups1"
    - Does not match

    DRIVER="usbhid", SYSFS{serial}="JB0319039999", NAME="ups1"
    - Does not match

    SYSFS{serial}="JB0319039999", NAME="ups1"
    - Matches, but results in a device node for the usbdev not for the 
hiddev

    BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="JB0319039999", NAME="ups1"
    - Matches, but results in a device node for the usbdev not for the 
hiddev

    SUBSYSTEM="usb", SYSFS{serial}="JB0319039999", NAME="ups1"
    - Does not match

I admit to being almost completely lost in the sysfs hierarchy. I'd be 
happy to post a subtree if someone can suggest which one would be 
helpful. It is worth noting that the default rules create correct and 
working hiddev* nodes...I'm just trying to given them persistent names.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
