Okay, bear with me on this because I already asked in linuxquestions.org and 
was actually told "Why don't you do your own research on this?"  Um, gee, I 
must have logged into linuxeffoffnewbie.org.  My bad.

udev has a rules system that lets you create a /dev entry based on stuff it 
knows about the device such as manufacturer, serial number, etc.  Does Busybox 
mdev have a similar system or is it bare bones?

If I can't do this, is there a better way to create more distinct /dev entries 
other than hacking the driver code itself?  For example, let's say you have a 
couple of gadgets from different companies that use an FTDI USB-to-serial chip. 
 Right now they all show up as ttyUSB#.  I could probably modify the 
usb-serial.c file to append some aspect of the device info but that seems 
kludgey.
