Searching the list for udev will probably turn up the relevent threads. http://search.gmane.org/?query=udev+rules&group=gmane.comp.hardware.texas-instruments.msp430.gcc.user > by the way, I added this to the udev rule: > > # Use the tty subsystem to get a stable name for the FET > SUBSYSTEM=="tty" ACTION=="add"\ > SYSFS{product}=="MSP-FET430UIF JTAG Tool" \ > SYMLINK+="ttyTIUSB" > > then a symlink is automatically created at /dev/ttyTIUSB.

That's an excellent tip, though I recently ended up with two USB-serial based widgets both based on the same chip (IIRC, the pl2303), and the flippin' vendors didn't bother to modify any of the default values, so they both show up as generic PL2303 serial ports and there's no way for udev to tell them apart. :/ -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
