Ahhhh..... (sorry for my stupid realisation-originated-question), for
the same serial-cable types with identical "idVendor" and "idProduct",
are they guaranteed to have unique serial-numbers?
We have the Prolific-PL2303-Serial-To-USB-converters with ID 067b:2303.
Right now I have two of these pieces, and they have identical 067b:2303, but
udevadm info -a -n /dev/ttyUSB0 | grep '{serial}' | head -n1
gives different serial-numbers for these two pieces.
Can I generalize this to any piece of the same cable-type?
If yes, I should be done :)
Either ways, thanks a ton Greg and Felipe for your prompt responses !!!
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
