Please do not use a pl2303 based converter, all the ones I've used lack serial numbers, so they show up in a random order when you have more than one, which sucks bigtime. See details: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/linuxha/2010-06.html#Dealing-with-many-USB-to-Serial-Port-Converters-on-linux-and-device-naming If you can't use ATTRS{serial}=="A7006gvN" please don't use the serial to usb chip :) Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
