In my case, it needs to be done on the card's physical location because I have two identical cards; if I move the card with the in-use IR interface, I still have to update the configuration anyway, and having lircd look at the available input device nodes means that I don't have to remember to recreate a symlink. (Also, I prefer /dev/hda to /dev/disk/... which reminds me a lot of devfs's long paths.) -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
