    fedora 13: udev rule for usb serial

    hello all,
    the following used to work with fedora 12:
    I created a new file called, say, 25-usbserial.rules in /etc/udev/rules

    KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNELS=="3-2:1.0", MODE="0777", SYMLINK+="ttyUSBgps""

    and the symlink was created.
    In Fedora 13, the symlink is never created.

    I want to achieve that a FTDI USB-RS232 adapter gets an extra symbolic link if the adapter is attached to a particular USB slot.

    Is there anything new introduced in Fedora 13?

    cheers

    It is weird, the following works on Fedora 13:
    KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", KERNELS=="2-1:1.0", MODE="0777", NAME="ttyUSBgps"

    But symbolic links do not work: SYMLINK+="ttyUSBgps" or SYMLINK="ttyUSBgps"
    - a link is never created

    I believe there might be a bug in udev or kernel.
    Cheers
