[systemd-devel] udev: problem renaming deviceode for dvb-devices

thanks for your prompt reply. I understand your suggestion. But this
does not help me to bring 4 dvb-cards
(/dev/dvb/adapter0.../dev/dvb/adapter3) into the order needed for
adressing the proper hardware by different apps, because the necessary
symlinks have the same names as the kernel-given nodes (just another
order).

Are there other possibilities to make the kernel establish the nodenames
based on hardware attributes rather then in the order of plugging the
hardware into the computer?

Thank You!
