Issues with USB IDs in USB Devices Rules

USB Device Rules you configured do not take effect.
Problem
The System Information tool in IGEL OS up to version 11.04.100 omits leading zeros in USB vendor and product IDs. These are shown only three hexadecimal digits long.

Solution
If you see three-digit USB IDs in System Information, use the lsusb
command:
Open Local Terminal.
Enter the
lsusb
command.Look for the device in question, possibly using
grep
to search in thelsusb
output:lsusb | grep -i [search term]
Use the four-digit IDs that
lsusb
reports.
