What kernel version? (almost always important info)
Sorry, forgot to mention that, it's 2.6.x.
For 2.4.x, you can #undef DEVNUM_ROUND_ROBIN in drivers/usb/usb.c and it will re-use recent device numbers instead of assigning new numbers up thru 127 and then beginning at <low numbers> again.
In 2.6.x this #define (DEVNUM_ROUND_ROBIN) is gone, but you can port that same code to 2.6 if you need it.
Hmmm, I'll look into that.
Thanks, Alex
