ADB with Acrhos 10i internet tablet on Ubuntu

I recently bought Archos 10i Internet tablet for testing the upcoming drawing software release (more soon on that) and there is an extra trick to getting it working with ADB:

1. Get the Vendor id by typing:
lsusb 
The line we are looking for is:
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0e79:1411 Archos, Inc.

2. Add the vendor id (0e79) to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules as per normal
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0e79", MODE="0666"

3. And the extra trick is as per this link: archoss-solution-to-adb-connection-bug.html
You also need to add the vendor id to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini (you need to check the file doesn't exist first).
echo "0x0e79" >>~/.android/adb_usb.ini

4. Then we restart the ADB server and the device should be shown:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
The last line shows:
List of devices attached
A10-4BE4XXXX-9FF8XXXX-015FXXXX-0D01XXXX device
