I'm trying to make a Z-Wave/Zigbee USB stick available to a Linux virtual machine. I got it set up with both Debian and Ubuntu and with both systems the device would periodically detach/reattach. When doing so, it reattaches to a different port (i.e. it will detach from /dev/ttyUSB0 and reattach to /dev/ttyUSB1). I tried creating a symlink "virtual" port so that it's always attached to the same location based on product id, etc. however this isn't available in my docker containers.
The problem is that I need to reference the device by the attach path. Is there any way to force a device to always attach to the same path (/dev/ttyUSB0)? The VirtualHere software is unfortunately unusable to me if I can't get this to consistently attach in the same location.
Thanks!

Virtualhere doesnt generate any device paths, it doesnt do anything other than present the device to the kernel as if it was directly plugged in. Everything else devpaths/drivers binding etc is done by the kernel. So whatever is creating the /dev/ttyUSBx path is done by the kernel.
