[plug] USB palm pilot

[Chris Caston]

Hello,

I've plugged in my palm pilot cradle setup, installed gnome-pilot and
the gnome control center.

Then:
insmod visor

insmod usbserial USB vendor=8x830 product=0x3

Now tailing kern.log gives:

and syslog

I assume I have the modules setup correctly (fingers crossed) and my only problem now 
is working out where to sym link /dev/pilot

How do I find this out?

I've tried coldsync -p on /dev/ttyUSB0-7 but no luck.

One thing I just realised (before posting) is that pressing the hotsync button on the palm cradle puts to following in /var/log/messages:

May  4 00:39:50 debian kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 3
May  4 00:39:50 debian kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x830/0x50) is not claimed by any active driver.
