FC5 udev config changed for ttyUSB*

Under FC4 all I had to do was tweak the line in 50-udev.rules to set 
access for users to access the USB ports:

KERNEL=="ttyUSB*",              GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660"

Set to

KERNEL=="ttyUSB*",              GROUP="uucp", MODE="0666"

In FC5 the line has completely changed to:

KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", SYMLINK+="pilot"

I have no idea what this syntax even means.

I set it back to:

KERNEL=="ttyUSB*",              GROUP="uucp", MODE="0666"

And everything works fine.  Where can I find some info on this new syntax?

Thanks

Doug P
