Udev rules no longer work after upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04

Hi,

I just upgraded my Ubuntu install to 12.04 and the udev rules provided in the "platform/linux" directory no longer seem to work. They worked previously with a then up-to-date install of 11.10.

I've tried a few simple edits but couldn't get them to function again so I'm running it with as root for now and it works just as well.

Thanks for this code, I love not having to reboot in Windows to update my fitbit profile!

I never tried in 11.10, but I am also unable to get the udev rule working in 12.04

Crap, ok. I'm starting to get reports on lots of my drivers about udev not working on 12.04 anymore. I'll see if I can test that soon.

The 51-fitbit_base.rules file needs to be changed to read:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="84c4", MODE="666", SYMLINK+="fitbit-ant_%k"

Some way of autodetecting whether you need the newer or old version of the udev rule based on the udev version is left as an exercise to the reader....

I was sure I tried that, but apparently I did something wrong. @tytso 's fix did the trick for me. Thanks.
