It might get pretty complicated to use D-Bus/HAL for simple setups, and rather static configurations like this. NetworkManager handles that, and we will even get modem-probing soon, but in cases like this it might be easier to have a simple - not very flexible - but working solution. Maybe we can have an "index" sysfs file at the serial device, which carries the instance number, per usb device? This would allow us to create persistent links which do not depend on the kernel device enumeration across multiple device. We did the same for v4l devices recently: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=539a7555b31e65e66fb84c881d07d2bf18c974d0 Greg, what do you think?
