Thanks Chris - Just had one of those disturbing (but happy!) experiences where
you get something working, but are not quite sure how it happened!
Will follow the steps...
1. I noticed in /dev/ whenever I plugged in my Palm Tungsten W and pressed
Hotsync, a ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 would appear. As soon as the hotsynch was
finished they would disapear.
2. I created a file in /etc/udev/rules.d called 10-local.rules (could be called
anything I think, as long as it ends with .rules) & added this line...
KERNEL="ttyUSB0", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="pilot"
3. Created a symlink from /dev/ttyUSB0 to /etc/udev/devices/pilot
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /etc/udev/devices/pilot
Was then able to synch the Palm when it wouldnt' before.
Now am not sure what steps above where neccessary or not - maybe someone far
more intelligent than me can explain...but anyway it seems to work! Bit more
pissing about than in the old days thats for sure!
cheers
Daryn
