Well, I have a nokia cable that has these attributes:
SYSFS{idProduct}=="2303"
SYSFS{idVendor}=="067b"
SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Prolific Technology Inc."
SYSFS{product}=="USB-Serial Controller"
I could easily write a rule that would create a /dev/pl2303 (or
whatever) to differentiate it from the palm, but that would be a bit
ad-hoc. Maybe have something like SYMLINK+="usbserial%s{idProduct}" ?
I understand that having it for all devices kind is a bit troublesome,
and I'm beginning to believe device persistence can't be solved without
some state saved somewhere, preferably by the application.
I have to think a bit more about it.
