Hi,
I don't run "unstable" (I use "testing") but I'd expect that you'll have to teach udev to recognize the USB devices and create the right device files for them. Start with udev(8) and work from there. Look in the files under /etc/udev/. Also "lsusb -v" might be your friend here (to find out which strings you should use in the specific rules, if you find that you have to write your own rules at all).
A rule exists in /etc/udev/udev.rules already:
BUS="usb", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", SYMLINK="pilot"
From the bit of googling I've done, I should be able to see log messages from udev in /var/log/messages which I'm not. The product name seems to match up with what appears in /sys/bus/usb/devices/devicethingy/product so I'm still confused...

Hi,
I am connecting a palm pilot to my laptop via USB. Have done this in the past no problems - /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 are the players. I had to reinstall Linux (Debian unstable on a mac) after some hard drive nastiness, and now I don't have any ttyUSBs. I RTFM and make 'em myself with mknod and I get palm sync nirvana until the device disconnects and my devices disappear from /dev. Given that I've had this working before I can only assume I am missing an appropriate package of some sort.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Denis
