>Can't this be forced using udev rules? udev seems to be a good way. I tried several different configurations.. my last one (file called '50-dvb_cards.rules'): # Create a symlink /dev/dvb/adapter104 pointing to dvb card with PCI bus id 04:00.0 SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", KERNEL=="0000:04:00.0", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter104/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c" # Create a symlink /dev/dvb/adapter106 pointing to dvb card with PCI bus id 04:02.0 SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", KERNEL=="0000:04:02.0", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter106/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c" BUS and ID combinations I saw on different other webpages seem to be out of date. Not sure what I am doing wrong as there still is only /dev/dvb/adapter0 and /dev/dvb/adapter1. I also tried to get my usbstick running with BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="058f", SYMLINK=+"usbstick" but this didn't work also. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
