Control of device names of USB to RS232 serial adapters
When you attach a USB to serial adapter (using the pl2303 driver) or reboot with an adapter attached your serial device will get a name like /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1 etc. This naming seems to be random and is a problem when you have several devices attached. Is there any way to control what adapter gets what name?
