Actually, your case is quite strange, I thought the PCI bus was always
probed before USB, so the PCI card should always get the first device.
Actually, I see in /lib/udev/rules.d a file 60-persistent-v4l.rules,
so it
seems there is already something to write persistent rules for video
devices.
If I understand it correctly, it should generate symlinks in
/dev/v4l/by-id
and /dev/v4l/by-path, so maybe you should use those links which are
supposed
to always point to the same device regardless of its actual numbering.
Merci Michel,
I am not knowledgeable on how to do this. Is there a way that you
could write the steps on how to work it out?
Is there anyone else having problems with this?

Salut Marc
You can list the hardware installed with lshw (with root priveleges).
Under « nom logique» / "logical name"?
it gives all the device names used for each device.
(In my case it gives /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrw, /dev/dvd, /dev/scd0, &
/dev/sr0, all for the same optical drive. But most devices list only 1
device name.)
lshw is really useful, just in case you don't have it installed.
