[Cialug] Usb devices and filesystem black magic

[David Bierce]

Dang, someone beat me.

udev gives you all the sweetness you need for adding hardware  
devices, however you want to.  Most commonly I use udev filters for  
ethernet devices.  For example, I have a machine with 6 interfaces  
that are called wan bridge1 bridge2 bridge3 bridge4 wireless instead  
of eth0, etc. etc.
