[Linrad] Linrad-03.06 SDR-IQ FT245 Solution

["Thomas D. Dean" <speakeasy.org; tomdean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I have an answer.

http://james.ahlstrom.name/ft245.html has instructions for installing
the ft245 driver.  After doing this, linrad recognizes the SDR-IQ.

The instructions discuss creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/sdriq the name
should be /etc/modprobe.d/sdriq.config or it may fail in future
releases.

The instructions also describe how to allow normal user access to the
SDR.  Linrad should never be run as root!

So create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules with this contents:

# Additional rules for this computer:
    # USB devices
    KERNEL=="ft245?",       MODE="0660",    GROUP="dialout"

Is it possible to extract these instructions and distribute them with
linrad?
