How is RAS suppose to handle multiple devices with the same name?

Hi All,

I have discovered an issue with RAS and connmc (Network and Connection
Manager). I am testing a USB to serial dongle on my device. If I connect
multiple dongles to my device using a USB hub I will have multiple RAS
devices (RasEnumDevices), all using the same name. How can I differentiate
between them? Whenever I try to create a connection (in connmc) it only uses
the name, which is the same for all of them. How can RAS tell them apart? It
seems to me, whatever entry I choose, the last one always gets used. This is
a major problem. This must have been noticed before by someone. Any tips on
how I can solve or work around this issue?

Cheers
Danny
