Is there an easy way to find out what /dev entries usb devices get mapped to from userspace?


"easy way" on 2.4? No, sorry. You need 2.6 to determine this in a
simple manner. But there are some files in the /proc/bus/usb/
and /proc/bus/input/ directories that will help you out.

Hmm...its not obvious to me how i can use /proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy to get the /dev entry information. I can get the USB device number, but I don't see how to get at a mapping to a major/minor in /dev space (or is this not possible in 2.4)...
