Cell phone USB modems and port number issues
Authored by: chris_on_hints on Aug 11, '05 11:14:52AM

I wonder whether it would be possible to duplicate the original file to create a copy for each possible USB port? you could set up on the first port, then plug into the others and spot what appears in the system.log...

might be worth trying?

in fact, setting a range of hard links might be best, so that in reality there is only one file, just with multiple references to it...

Bad idea. devfs is maintained dynamically and things change as devices are connected and disconnected. It'd be far too easy to screw things up.
