i have this same problem and i cannot get it resolved. i believe with
"devfs" you can get consistent device names?? not sure, but debian
does not have devfs, so i need a different solution. i was hoping
there was some "hotplug" script that would link the plugged in device
to whatever system device it was assigned to, but i have found nothing.
help please?
