I'm using Ubuntu Warty, kernel 2.6.8.1-4-386, udev 0.026-1ubuntu5. I want to name USB devices, specifically printers, according to manufacturer and possibly (eventually) serial number. The rule I'm trying to use is: BUS="usb", KERNEL="lp[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k", SYMLINK="usbdev-% s{product}" The symlink which gets created is: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 22 10:36 /dev/usbdev- -> usb/lp0 My %s{product} bit seems to resolve to an empty string. What am I doing wrong?
