mapping multiple video devices (including webcams) to /dev/videoN in specified order?

Show all headers | View raw

When one has multiple sound cards, even sound cards using the same module, particularly
snd_usb_audio, it is possible to use the index parameter along with pid (product ID)
and vid (vendor ID) parameters to ensure that each card is setup with a particular
numeric identifier in ALSA, viz index=0 relates to sound card 0, hw:0.

So the big question is, is there some equivalent specification one can use in a
/etc/modprobe.d configuration to ensure that a video device (eg bttv) is at /dev/video0,
and a particular USB webcam is at /dev/video1, and evena second USB webcam at /dev/video2?
