I have this line in /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=666 0 0
and somewhere in /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules I have this line
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k;
K=$${K#usbdev};printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'",
NAME="%c", MODE="0666"
IIRC was MODE="0664" before.
I found these settings from googling in forums. I don't know if these
changes are wise but they work.
