With udev it's possible to assign the same name regardless of the order in which the device gets detected, as much as you can do with usb fs (so your pendrive is always sdb, your camera sdc and your mp3-player sdd, etc.), so it would be nice to get this working.

(Here's an example of this: http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-printer).
