Loading firmware

Hello,

I need to load firmware to a USB camera via fxload. The problem is that
fxload requires a path such as /dev/bus/usb/001/002 in order to load the
firmware. So I wrote a udev rules file to do just that, however, the only
useful variable I can obtain now is %k, and I get something in the form of
usbdev1.2_ep00 which I then need to parse in some regexp magic in order to
extract the bus and dev num in order to construct the full path. I used to
be able to pull devnum and busnum ($env{BUSNUM}) but not anymore (using
openSUSE 11). Now I have a loader script that parses %k and constructs the
path. But this is only a hack and not a real solution, is there a way to get
the full path so I can pass it to fxload without resorting to these
desperate measures? Appreciate your help.
