udev rule with bInterfaceNumber doesn't work

I'm trying to use udev to give relevant names a USB-serial device but I'm having now luck.

The udev rules I'm trying are:

    KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1412",  ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="test_USB0"
    KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1412",  ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="test_USB1"
    KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="02", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1412",  ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="test_USB2"
    KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="03", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1412",  ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="test_USB3"

When I use only the first udev rule without the bInterfaceNumber attribute, like so:

    KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1412",  ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="test_USB0"

It works ok. I can see symbolic link /dev/test_USB0 created which points to /dev/ttyUSB0 but what about the other ttyUSB devices created when I plug in this usbserial device?

My guess is to use the bInterfaceNumber attribute but when I put that in, nothing happens and it seems to completely bypass my rule.

Can anyone help me with this?

have you found a solution for this? I have the exact same problem but adding ATTRS{serial} to my rules. They work perfectly without that, but as soon as I add that they stop working. I need to use ATTRS{serial} because I have several devices that have all other info the same and this is the only attribute that differentiate them. – m4l490n – 2016-11-07T04:51:46.307

You can use ENV{ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM}, defined in /lib64/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-serial.rules

Use udevadm test to check what environment available.
