The above should work, you probably just forgot to logout to pick up the
new group.

Usually, you write a init compatible script and place it in
/etc/init.d/, then link that script to the run levels you want it
started and stopped.
See /etc/init.d/skeleton and `man 8 update-rc.d` on how to create the
links.
You may also could also consider using devfsd instead, it has facilities
to set permissions when modules are loaded.
