Ok, let's see if I can remember how I got my Palm working .... ;-) UDEV: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="PalmSN12345678", NAME="pilot", MODE="0666"
The MODE paramter is VERY important! There had been some changes in this area recently. And just to be sure add a permission here: /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions # Palm Tungsten E # pilot*:root:usb:0666 BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="PalmSN12345678", NAME="pilot", MODE="0666" My Tungsten E doesn't have a craddle but can be directly connected with an USB cable. I had to enable USB Serial Converter support in my kernel (CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR) for that to work. I believe that's pretty much it.
