# Persistent symlinks for webcam and DC10+
KERNEL=="video*", SYSFS{model}=="Pixart PAC207-BCA", SYMLINK+="webcam"
KERNEL=="video*", SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", SYSFS{name}=="DC10plus_0_"
, SYMLINK+="DC10plus"

I copied and pasted the entries from udevinfo, to make sure that I got them 
exactly right.

Something has gone wrong again, though.  I made a test recording before I 
rebooted, but now I can't, and /dev/DC10plus seems to be wrongly directed.

[anne at david ~]$ ls -al /dev/webcam
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jan 18 19:45 /dev/webcam -> video0
[anne at david ~]$ ls -al /dev/DC10plus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 18 19:47 /dev/DC10plus -> hda1

I don't understand why it should work once, then not again.
