apparently flip was only designed for redhat, so it fails to find the usb device when run. also, the udev rules that are in the documentation are incorrect.

1- fix udev to correctly set permissions on device when plugged in:
$ echo '#add support AT90USB162 / Maximus AVR USB' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/71-atmel.rules
$ echo 'ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTR{idProduct}=="2ffa", GROUP="flip", MODE="0660"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/71-atmel.rules

2 - add the "flip" group that the device will be owned by
$ sudo groupadd flip

3- add your own username to the flip group
$ sudo usermod -G flip `whoami`

4- replace $FLIP_HOME/libatlibusbdfu.so with the one from this archive:

(found via this thread: http://ubuntuforums....t=901891&page=3)

then plug in your max avr board and start up flip. it will now detect the device over usb.
