no it does not , it corresponds to the device tree:
cd /devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci10de,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1028,[EMAIL
PROTECTED]
this is the physical path where the BIOS have enumerated the device
and the kernel has gotten this info from the Plug_and_Play part of the
PC BIOS. the device code is AFAIK not part of this string.
THis is what I have on one machine. which have the nvida gigabit ethernet
device.
pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x0a function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x0057
nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller
# cd /dev
# ls -l nge0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jun 14 23:54 nge0 -> ../devices/[EMAIL
PROTECTED],0/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge0
# cd /devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
# pwd
/devices/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and the tail end of /etc/path_to_inst looks like this
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0" 4 "sd"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci10de,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0 "pci_pci"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci10de,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1106,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0
"hci1394"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci10de,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0
"envy24ht"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0 "nge"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0 "mc-amd"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED],1" 1 "mc-amd"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED],2" 2 "mc-amd"
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1022,[EMAIL PROTECTED],3" 0 "amd64_gart"
"/stmf" 0 "stmf"
"/sbd" 0 "sbd"
"/fct" 0 "fct"
and the corresponding entry from prtconf -pv
observe that the hex "@a " entry in path_to_inst corresponds to node 10
decimal below

So create the symbolic link yourself.
