+dfu-programmer is a Device Firmware Update based USB programmer for
+Atmel chips with a USB bootloader.
+
+It seems to be working just fine with the LUFA based DFU Bootloader.
+(http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/LUFA.php).
+
+
+You might want to add the following udev rule under /etc/udev/rules.d:
+
+SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ACTION=="add",ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb",ATTRS{idProduct}=="2ff4",GROUP="plugdev"
+
+so when you plug the AVR chip to program, the USB devices becomes
+available to all the members of the "plugdev" group. Also, I found
+that the programmer doesn't work for non-root users when the
+"usbfs" is mounted on /proc/bus/usb, so my advice is to remove the
+"usbfs" entry from /etc/fstab if it is there (or maybe there is a
+ better solution).
