consistent device name

[Omer Zak]

The relevant subsystem is udev.
Check /etc/udev/rules.d

A rule which I used in a previous Linux installation (Debian Etch based)
for DiskOnKeys:

# SanDisk flash memory device (can find the details
in /proc/scsi/usb-storage)
#BUS=="usb", 
SYSFS{manufacturer}=="SanDisk Corporation", SYSFS{product}=="U3
Titanium", SYSFS{serial}=="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="usb/8gflash", MODE="666", GROUP="omer"
