Comment 49 for bug 27833

With the latest firmware from the Hardy (8.04) repo it works OK without modifications on the scripts or any need in using the manual uploading script but the "/etc/fstab" configuration file needs to be fixed.

To do this you can type on a terminal:

echo "/dev/bus/usb/ /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0"|sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

echo argument _needs_ quotes and pay attention at spaces.

or edit it with Alt+F2 >gksudo gedit >Open /etc/fstab and add a line with "/dev/bus/usb/ /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0" without quotes and paying attention at spaces. It needs reboot or "sudo mount dev/bus/usb".

This is because the udev rules script uses device nodes mounted under "/proc/bus/usb" to upload firmware and Hardy only mounts the device nodes under "/dev/bus/usb". Former versions of Ubuntu and Debian mounted it on both.
