What do I need to do to get consistant device naming?

Use the existing symlinks in /dev/v4l/by-path perhaps?

Or, if v4l_id supports it from your capture card, udev will create
/dev/v4l/by-id links as well, which may work better for you (they're
based on serial # and bus).

These are both supposed to be stable and unique.  Of course, you need to
be using at least a recent version of udev (i.e. one from *long* after
it changed to stop using SYSFS{} anymore)...


I am using CentOS 5.3, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plus, and
udev-095-14.20.el5_3 package

There is no /dev/v4l directory so what are my options for fixing this?
