Oh! I was looking in the wrong scripts! My fault

I commented out lines #87, #88, #89
There is another hotplug line (line #160),
should be that commented too?
However, it seems to work. Thank you a lot! :-)

Uhmm... ok, if the scripts go on working like
they are doing now :-) I won't need to reference
the devices myself anymore, however, is that normal
that the device changes name at each boot?

Ah! The channel... I was on channel 4, now I'm experimenting...
seems that channel 9 works much better... thanks again!
