Subject: getting device info from device node

Hi Greg,
I must disagree. The most basic thing about configuring
a device is identifying it. You must be able to tell what it is.
However I think I found a relatively clean way.
You can return a name from an ioctl().
You just can't return the one human readable name.
You can return a name which is unique and can only
be used while the device is still plugged in.
Regards
Oliver
