I agree. I'd start with looking at what lsusb says. IIRC, there should be
some sort of uid for each device. Check the specs on the usb group's web
site (usb.org?) but really that doesn't matter if it says the manufacturer
didn't follow spec - again lsusb will show you quick enough.
However, I think there's a way to name devices based on the port they're
plugged into.
