I found myself a solution to this problem (I don't know if it's the best way 
to do it but it works for me).

I added the following two files to my system:

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/00-local.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb", 
ATTRS{serial}=="2f11211b-0e00-0106-6800-0050bf7a660c",
RUN+="/usr/local/bin/loox.udev"

# cat /usr/local/bin/loox.udev
#!/bin/bash

if [ ${ACTION} == "add" ]
then
        echo "1" > /sys/${DEVPATH}/bConfigurationValue
fi
