It used to be that you edited or created a new rule
in /etc/udev/rules.d.

The lower the number the earlier in the process the rule got looked at. 

However, it appears to me that things have changed.  I no longer see
explicit USB rules in that directory and the hal.rules file has this:

# pass all events to the HAL daemon
RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event"

I set this device up a couple years ago and now I don't remember how.
Or things have changed.
