Missing devices after bootup

[Bill Christiansen]

It's due to the way udev works. You can make the device node permanent
by copying it to a folder outside /dev and then adding a line to
the /etc/udev/links.conf
So if you put ttyLT0 in a folder /ltmodem, then add the following line
to links.conf:
L ttyLT0      /ltmodem/ttyLT0
