Title:
  Incorrect(?) USB Id in the database: 1941:8021 Watson W-8681

Status in usbutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  lsusb is reporting it as "Dream Link USB Missile Launcher". Actually it is a weather station (manufactured by Fine Offset Electronics WH1080, rebranded as Watson W-8681, see http://www.digitalham.co.uk/equipment/Watson_W8681.php).
  Most probably, there is a conflict in the database. What is the ulmimate source of these ids?

  There is no need to load any driver or smth - everything is handled by
  the client software (request for packaging is pending).

  Probably, this rule would be nice to have for udev:

  SYSFS{idProduct}=="8021", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1941", MODE="660",
  GROUP="plugdev"

  I put it into the /etc/udev/rules.d/39-w8681.rules
