I'm trying to rename certain video devices using udev. Here's a rule (broken down for readability):

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{busnum}=="1",
ATTR{devpath}=="2", ATTR{idVendor}=="05e1", NAME="video97"

It works. /dev/video97 is created But the original /dev/video1 node is STILL there.

The even worse, when I try to view the /dev/video97 node in guvcview it doesn't work, while the original node DOES work.
