Ups, please use these config lines, in this order as a temporary
workaround, to catch the other devices starting with tty*,
the same is needed for ttyUSB*, ...

REPLACE, KERNEL="tty*", NAME="vc/%n"
REPLACE, KERNEL="ttyS*", NAME="tts/%n"
REPLACE, KERNEL="tty", NAME="tty"


Greg, should we iterate backwards over the lists of methods?
It seems a bit confusing to put a catch all line at the beginning of the
config file to be precessed after all the others.

A better pattern matching seems unavoidable.
Is anyone already improving namedev's strncpm_wildcard()?
If nobody comes up, I will do it until tomorrow night :)

thanks,
Kay
