USB, Firewire, and PCMCIA devices are plug-and-play. You can plug them
into either USB port, can plug multiple versions of the same device into
a machine, and can remove them any time you like. The only way to
handle this is to have a new unique device file created on-the-fly when
the device is inserted.
