Thank you so much for the help. I have not yet gotten it to work though
because I am unsure as to where to
put it. You instruct me to put the rule in /etc/udev/rules.d but that
is a directory. Do I create a file to put it into or should I put it
in an existing file?
Here is a listing of that directory:
