Re: [gentoo-user] Need to identify USB device by port

[Mike Diehl]

Well, I changed my rule per your advice:

BUS=="usb", SYMLINK+="mouse1",  SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Logitech", 
OPTIONS+="last_rule", PHYSDEVPATH=="*:00:02.0/usb2/2-10"

And it STILL doesn't work.  I've googled and read everything I can find.  It 
looks like my PHYSDEVPATH isn't correct.  I've got one rule for each of my 
two mice and it seems like the first one always matches, eventhough I've used 
different PHYSDEVPATH's...

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Mike.
