Actually, the manpage indicates that if -D is not used, the environment variable
$DEVICE is used instead. I believe that either udev or the kernel sets this
variable, which is why it works on my system without the -D.

Are you sure the -D is necessary on your system?

What version of Ubuntu are you running? I believe there was a minor glitch on
Edgy (or was it Dapper?) that caused some USB devices requiring firmware to not
come up at boot time, but if udev was restarted (sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart),
the devices would then be able to load correcdtly. If I'm remembering
correctly, this was related to usbfs, and whether or not it was loaded at the
right time in the process.

Can you try changing your udev file back to the version without the -D and
rebooting? If your MidoSport doesn't work at that point, restart udev. If it
still doesn't work, I'd like to figure out why that is.

Ok, when/if I have one ready, I'll post a link.
