Attached is a patch for the Makefiles and an udev rule which should work anyway. I don't have TASCAM US-122 usb hardware handy, so I would be very pleased if someone could test it.
Thanks

I can't remember for sure, but the included rules file might have problems loading the us428control program. I think there might have been problems I encountered with using the tascam_fpga script directly from udev, since us428control doesn't self-daemonize. I'll attach the .rules file that I use, which might be useful as an example to fix the .rules file provided already if it's found that there are problems with udev and the existing tascam_fpga script. As I recall, since us428control was still holding on to its stdout, udev would hang and not load any devices after the US-428.
A better option might be a patch to us428control to add a daemonize switch (which, of course, could be as simple as fclose()-ing stdin, stdout, and stderr, and dealing with any I/O functions accordingly).
Hmm, from my patch tascam_fw and tascam_fpga are installed to /lib/udev. The udev rules are calling these scripts which are almost doing what your udev rule is doing manualy, isn't it? There is one user [0], who came along with an rule similar to the attached which still works. My intention is not do rewrite usx2yloaders, but optimize it for distribution.
I don't know whether upstream is active to help? A statement from Karsten Wiese would be helpfull at that point ;)
But if your rule works for sure, I can distribute it with your allowness. There are still ugly sh -c calls I don't understand yet.
