 by the libusb userspace library instead and should work on every kernel version

+If your cable does not have the ID 03fd:0008 in the output of lsusb,
+the initial firmware has not been loaded (loading it changes the
+product-ID from another value to 8). To load the firmware follow

+1. If you have no /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules file, copy it from
+   /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusbdfwu.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules

+2. Install the package containing /sbin/fxload from your linux distribution.
