Ah, that changes everything.

The entire reason Germano and I were chasing down this option,
was so we could export various "tty" statistic files out to below
each respective tty name in /sys/class/tty 

If its currently not possible to add more attributes to the simple
class,
then we are probably going down the wrong avenue here, at least for now.

Greg,
I know you are a very busy person...
Is making a "tty class" even in the cards for 2.6, or is it scheduled
for 2.7+ ?

Germano,
I still hate doing it, and I know it is against the "1 value per file in
sys" rule,
but for now I think exporting the values to the "card" directory with
each file 
containing the value as a list of ports, 1 per line, might be the best
option
to work with here, at least until the "tty class" gets developed.
