Comment 47 for bug 550288

Wanted to kick in with this.

I'm using the Logitech Bluetooth Dongle to connect my MX1000 mouse (all from the MX5000 keyboard/mouse combo kit). I'm only connecting the mouse (ditched the keyboard long ago) so I'm running a really really simplified setup.

I applied the rule updates in comment 10 about 4 months ago. That fixed my mouse up until I applied the udev update last week.

Since then, none of the suggested rules have worked. Not even the combined KERNEL=="hidraw*|hiddev*" fix.

What has worked however, was purging the whole "KERNEL==<BLAH>," reference entirely. I followed the directions in this post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9574808) to do only the following:

1) sudo cp /lib/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hid2hci.rules --- Contents of the /etc/udev/rules.d override the /lib/udev/rules.d and dont get overwritten on an update
2) Change <<KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", \>> to <<ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c70[345abce]|c71[34bc]", \>>

I didn't do ANY OF THE OTHER STEPS in that document, only the two above. Your mileage may vary;)

So...all that said...I don't know the significance of removing "KERNEL==<BLAH>," from the rule. Presumably, it's there for a very good reason. But since my requirements are so trivial, this appears to work for me (though it should be noted that I haven't restarted my machine yet >.>)

Hopefully this helps rather than hurts.

Description: rule-based device node and kernel event manager
 udev is a collection of tools and a daemon to manage events received from the kernel and deal with them in user-space. Primarily this
 involves creating and removing device nodes in /dev when hardware is discovered or removed from the system.

 Events are received via kernel netlink messaged and processed according to rules in /etc/udev/rules.d and /lib/udev/rules.d, altering the
 name of the device node, creating additional symlinks or calling other tools and programs including those to load kernel modules and
 initialise the device.
