(like on reboot) haldaemon is what's naming it that. /usr/share/hal/fdi contains XML files with rules on how haldaemon does whatever it does. this gets into the whole freedesktop thing (dbus, udev, hald, etc etc) and it can get really complicated, so just be warned. there aren't many good frontends for managing these things yet (the only nascent GUI app i can see is "hal-device-manager" (which is SO SO SO good, everybody should know about it) and its CLI analogue is "lshal" (redirect, pipe, or grep the output, there's a LOT) -- Emily Brantley <located@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
