Hello List,

i encountered a silly problem with lirc (or linux-dvb). Im using 2 aver
dvb-t 771 cards inside
my pc. Sometimes (after restart), the device-number is exchanged with the
number from
other card - this put me into a small problem, cause im using just one
remote receiver of
just one card. Is there any way to prevent that? Ive not any clue, why
sometimes my
receiver is on /dev/event2 and sometimes on /dev/event3.

Sorry for crossposting, i am not sure, where to place it correctly.

Maybe its not lirc-related cause the event-device it swapped and this is job
of the
dvb-modules, or...?

This all is more interesting than annoying.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Andreas

I solved this with udev, which can automatically create links to the desired devices (in my case one USB and one PCI).

The rules I used are:

# make stable symlink for IR of Technotrend DVB card
KERNEL="event*", SYSFS{name}=="DVB on-card IR receiver", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/ir_dvb_ttpci"

# make stable symlink for IR of Cinergy T2 USB DVB adapter
KERNEL="event*", SYSFS{name}=="TerraTec/qanu USB2.0 Highspeed DVB-T Receiver remote control", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/ir_dvb_cint2usb"
