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.
