getting /dev entries for USB devices

["Stephen Morgan" <stephenm@glw.com>]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get udev to create nodes for my USB devices.  There will be
several of the same device and I need their nodes named according to their
bus location.

I created this rule file in /etc/udev/rules.d, called it 05-aa_dev.rules

BUS="usb", PLACE="1.1", NAME="aa_dev01"
BUS="usb", PLACE="1.2", NAME="aa_dev02"
BUS="usb", PLACE="2.1", NAME="aa_dev03"
BUS="usb", PLACE="2.2", NAME="aa_dev04"
BUS="usb", PLACE="3.1", NAME="aa_dev05"
BUS="usb", PLACE="3.2", NAME="aa_dev06"
BUS="usb", PLACE="4.1", NAME="aa_dev07"
BUS="usb", PLACE="4.2", NAME="aa_dev08"

When I plug the devices in, I see a new entry show up in
/sys/bus/usb/devices, for instance "3-1". In that directory, I can find the
idProduct and idVendor that match my device - so far, so good.

But nothing ever shows up in /dev.  I should see one of my device names
appear, shouldn't I?

I've read Daniel Drake's article on writing rules, but I'm sure I could be
missing something.

Thanks for your help.
