Description of problem: I have a FTDI cable with FT232 chip inside. I could not access this device with libftdi as a user (I'm in plugdev group). Also ls -l /dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx shows that only root can access the device Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.plugin device 2.get bus and device number from lsusb 3.check ls -l /dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx for plugdev group Actual results: ls -l /dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx shows root root Expected results: ls -l /dev/bus/usb/xxx/xxx shows root plugdev Additional info: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-libftdi.rules doesn't include idProduct for ft232 device which is 6001. Solution: adding to the rules the line: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev" libftdi sources contain this and other lines.
This will be fixed in 1.1 in rawhide (F-21)
