#1 - any rules you create should NOT go into 50-udev.rules since, a)
that file gets replaced any time there is a udev package update and b)
rules are parsed alphabetically in the folder and the first rule wins so
10-udev.rules would solve both those issues.
#2 - get the specific information about your device from either udevinfo
or usbview when the device is plugged in.
See this link for really good ideas...
