Better udev rules for Linux

[SammysHP]

A more modern way of giving users access to USB devices is by the uaccess tag. It gives the user of the current session access to the device without changing the group (plugdev is not used on many modern systems anymore) or changing the actual file permissions. Everything is handled by ACLs.

Create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-netmd.rules with following content. The 70- is important, it must be smaller than 73.

Thanks for this! I've further modified this file so that it supports HiMD devices running in mass storage mode as well. It's now available under extras/70-netmd.rules
