I'm using a Raspberry with two similar devices but different antennas.
Specifying the device via index didn't work, because the enumeration of
devices changed from time to time. Therefore I implemented functions to
give a USB path instead. This path looks the same as the Linux kernel
uses (eg. "4-1.2") and contains the USB bus and port numbers.
I'll hope you'll find my patch acceptable.
Best Regards,
Alex
Add functions to query devices via path, and path from a device.
The path is formatted similar to Linux USB device names (bus number,
hyphen, ports separated by dots, eg. "4-1.2").
