Hello folks !

Good news : I have upgraded my Kobil M-Identity stick today. It now
works on Ubuntu 10.04 :o). Unfortunately a windoz machine is required
for the upgrade.

Also, it is still required to change the default udev rule as described
in the Faq on the Migros Bank website. However, doing this will grant
r/w permissions to any device matching the default rule. I do not like
this idea. Call me paranoid if you want ....

Therefore, as already explained in another post, I have created a
specific udev rule that matches the Kobil M-Identity stick and set the
correct permissions for this device only.

.................................................................................................................................................
BUS!="usb", ACTION!="add", SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", GOTO="local_rules_end"
# Kobil mIDentity XL USB
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d46", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4081", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev"
#
LABEL="local_rules_end"
..................................................................................................................................................


If you want to use it, copy the rule located between the two dotted lines above 
and paste it into an editor like gedit, for example. Save the file as 
01-local.rules, say, in your home directory.

Now open a terminal and type, at the command prompt :

# sudo cp ~/01-local.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/.

Restart udev by typing :

# sudo restart udev

Plug-in your Kobil M-Identity stick. Open the M-Identity folder that
shows up on your desktop after a little while. Double-click on the icon
Start_M-Identity_Linux. Off you go !

Please note : the above rule works well on my machine. However, I am not
an expert at writing udev rules ! So feel free to report issues, improve
the rule above, suggest other solutions etc ....

Enjoy Ubuntu !

Cheers.
