Yes, I think you can use the usb policy script to do that, but I haven't
had the time to look into them in depth yet.

But with devfs you can do that right now. Someone posted to the
usbvisor-devel list a few months ago with a script that is kicked off
anytime the visor is seen, using devfs. Search the archives for it if
you're interested.

Has anyone tested the usb policy scripts with the Visor driver yet?
