Based on some Web research, it seems that the "proper" way these days to
use modern Palms with jpilot, pilot-link et al. is to set them to use
the usb: device then let udev (?) link the two up, skipping the visor
module entirely.  I think I missed out on this because the visor module
has always worked.

However, using usb: is not working either:

>> device connected
[ 1849.776124] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 15
[ 1849.909491] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
>> executed pilot-dlpsh -p usb: -i
[ 1972.557307] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 15
[ 1972.558349] usb 1-3: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd pilot-dlpsh rqt 194 
rq 4 len 20 ret -108
[ 1975.124129] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 16
[ 1975.257385] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

It doesn't crash the LifeDrive, though, so that's good ;)

I could use some guidance from someone who understands this more
thoroughly in order to get this bug targeted properly.  There are
definitely two issues though, AFAIK:

1.  the visor module has begun crashing Palms, and
2.  the usb: method (which I understand gnome-pilot also uses?) is not working
