Well, having read that and putting the following two rules in
/etc/udev/rules,d/10-local.rules:

# Setup Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller dongles for statice names
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial", ATTRS{busnum}=="6", ATTRS{devnum}=="3", DRIVERS=="pl2303", NAME="ttyUSB0"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb-serial", ATTRS{busnum}=="7", ATTRS{devnum}=="5", DRIVERS=="pl2303", NAME="ttyUSB1"

the crazy system is naming them the opposite of that specified above!

The only text from udev in any of the log folows is the following from
dmesg:

[   10.392455] udevd version 125 started
[   10.616061] usb 7-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5

[   11.367401] usb 6-2: Product: USB-Serial Controller D
[   11.386039] usb 6-2: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.

I don't get it.  Do I have to wait 12 days to kill a chicken by the
dark of the moon?
