21 I don't have much experience with USB devices or how udev handles
22 them in /dev. All my experience which is quite limited would suggest
23 that it is still a permission issue. You could find the (ephemeral)
24 device file(s) and check the perms on them and then issue the groups
25 command to check against. My guess is you still have a permission
26 problem that is more likely due to /etc/groups than to /etc/udev.d.
