Change the 40- to 60- and it should work. Of course, you are already using another alternative, the last_rule option. There's a third option that /might/ work, as well, according to the documentation (which is fresh in my mind due to bug 98175, udev-061's user/group mixups, today). You could try replacing the NAME= with NAME:=. According to the documentation, the := assignment cannot be overwritten, so that should make your name stick, with newer udevs, anyway. I think that functionality is rather new, tho, and may not be in stable versions. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
