Yes udev can be annoying. This is my fixe for a similar problem I had with a usb modem and /dev/modem disappearing. 1. Under /etc/udev/devices create a symlink of modem to your physical device in my case this was /dev/ttyACM0 ie # cd /etc/udev/devices # ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 modem This won't work if your physical device is disappearing though but this should 2. The other alternative (a more correct method ?) is to make a copy of /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules and call it 10-my-udev.rules in the same directory as 50-udev.rules (the number just tells it what order to apply the rules) and in here add your own rule. You will have to trawl through /sys to find your device but this site tells you all you need to know http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php Also I have had more luck using the sysfs attribs to create rules as they are permananent and being able to name your own devices is quite useful too ie /dev/usb_key /dev/this_printer_sucks Use your imagination. -- James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
