Well, I just rolled 2.6.18-rt7 (was on 2.6.15) and the device numbers
are completely reshuffled. I would imagine any setup that relies on the
device numbers (and not names) would be totally messed up in situations
such as these.
IMHO card number should be static and setup by system conf (index=xx
module option), that sounds much cleaner to me.
How could this possibly be cleaner or simpler than addressing devices by
name like every other OS does?
