   Numbering of USB ports

   I've just commissioned a new machine that has several USB ports. One of   
   these has an adaptor connected, and I want to set its permissions in a   
   startup script. Unfortunately in three different starts, the address of   
   this adaptor has varied from   
   /dev/bus/usb/005/002 to   
   /dev/bus/usb/002/002   
   which makes it difficult to script.   
   Any idea why the address should change, and more importantly, can I do   
   anything to make it constant?
