I tried it on OpenSUSE 11 and it doesn't, $env{BUSNUM} and $env{DEVNUM} are empty strings, $env{DEVNAME} returns the USB endpoint which I can't pass to fxload.

This is what I get:

run_program: '/sbin/fxload' (stderr) '/dev/usbdev1.24_ep82: No such device or address'
run_program: '/sbin/fxload' returned with status 255

Thus far, fxload only works if it is passed something in the form of /dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY
