A small enhancement that you can add and use is to have udevd create
a predictable symlink for the device. This way if you plug in more
USB devices, or plug things in a different order so they get assigned
the same /dev/ node that your LinkUSB currently has, your owserver or
whatever programs use your LinkUSB will still be able to find it.
As an example, here's what I have on my
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-local-usb-serial.rules file:
--
#
# From
http://marc.merlins.org/perso/linuxha/2010-06.html#Dealing-with-many-USB-to-Serial-Port-Converters-on-linux-and-device-naming
#
# After making a change 'udevadm trigger' will update symlinks.
#
# http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#udevinfo
# was udevinfo -a -p /class/tty/ttyUSB0
# now udevadm info --attribute-walk -p /class/tty/ttyUSB0
# (used to determine product ID, serial number, etc. to be used
# in the declarations below)
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART",
ATTRS{serial}=="A5008b6u", SYMLINK+="plm"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART",
ATTRS{serial}=="A400bXjP", SYMLINK+="1wire-master0"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="FT232R USB UART",
ATTRS{serial}=="A800eIPR", SYMLINK+="1wire-master1"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="FT231X USB UART",
ATTRS{serial}=="DC00HJ03", SYMLINK+="moteino-usb"

These rules will create the symlinks /dev/plm, /dev/1wire-master0,
/dev/1wire-master1, and /dev/moteino-usb for the FTDI serial-to-USB
chips with those serial numbers. Applications (like owserver) then
use the symlinks instead of the actual /dev/bus/usb// path. For
example, my /etc/owfs.conf contains this:
server: device = /dev/1wire-master0
Cheers,
