[Bug 42437] can not connect my iRiver ifp-899

[morgane]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I was using this device in Breezy without problem and now that I
installed Dapper Beta I can not connect anything anymore.

Connection is done normaly through ifp command.

When I plug this device and preformed a dmesg I get the following
statement :

 usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

Then if I try ifp command begin for example by "ifp ls" I get the following message :
Device is busy.  (I was unable to claim its interface.)

Then if the same command with sudo I get the right message

where can I correct this problem - It is a security treatment of the device actually I guess - but it is what also is maybe blocking the device under Amarok beta 1.4.
If only the root can have access to usb devices like this ...It is secure but not convenient at all.
