Description:
I have a USB to serial adapter using the kernel module pl2303, and lsusb reports it as: Bus 007 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port When hotplugged, hal assigns it to /dev/ttyUSB0. When the system is suspended and resumed, the device is renamed as /dev/ttyUSB1. I have inputattach running to interface a serial trackball, so in my circumstance, my mouse stops working after the resume. This occurs with hal 0.5.14-2. My system was updated to this version on 5/31/10. Steps to reproduce: 1. Power on machine with USB to serial adapter 2. Verify that the mouse functions properly 3. Suspend the machine 4. Resume the machine (5). At this point, the mouse will not function as /dev/ttyUSB0 disappeared; the USB to serial adapter now lives at /dev/ttyUSB1 |

This is not related to hal at all, hal does not assign device
nodes, udev does. What happens here is that your device is
re-initialized before the system knows it is gone. You could try
to unload the module before suspending. Assuming you use pm-utils
to suspend (KDE and GNOME do), you can place a file in
/etc/pm/config.d with contents "SUSPEND_MODULES=pl2303". The file
can be named anything, so just name it suspend_modules for
example. pm-suspend will unload and reload the pl2303 driver on
suspend and resume with that.
