I see. So, aparently, Till wanted to query for the manufacturer's assigned serial number and somehow remember which ttyUSBx port we assigned to it and assign the same number next time. This will be a significant change. Even if we do it, I don't think it will help much. Consider I wrote a program or a script, which works with my Palms. Since I have only one Palm cradle attached, I always assumed that it will always be ttyUSB0, so I often hard-coded ttyUSB0 to some simple programs and scripts. And I expected it to be ttyUSB0 no matter whether I plugged the same Palm or another one with different serial number. Obviously, I was surprised when my Palm was assigned ttyUSB2 because some program still kept a file open.
