OTOH, longname can be really ugly to read, and it can vary because it often embeds address or irq numbers in the string. If a general name is the goal, how about using shortname instead? Or use id field, as Jaroslav suggested, but without the card number suffix; then it's unique among multiple cards. thanks, Takashi
