The otuput of dmesg will tell you which device it is;
So this one is sdb (I had a compact flash card reader plugged into my laptop a few days ago). There might be a more programmatic way of doing this in the 2.6 kernels but I'm not sure.
Yeah, I need my software to be able to figure it out on its own so I guess if there is no programmatic way to do this really, then I will have to parse the dmesg for my specific vendor info for the USB device and then starting there try to find the sd? line. A little messy but it might work ok.
Thanks, Jeff.
