Hello all,

Has something changed in release-6.0 that affects usb communication with 
a palm/zire?

Here is what I have done from 5.2.1-5.4 to get my zire to sync with Jpilot:

1. add to my kernel:
device   ucom
device   uvisor

2. Add to /etc/defaults/devfs.rules:
[devfsrules_palm=100]
add path 'ucom*' group operator mode 0666

3. Add to /etc/rc.conf
devfs_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="devfsrules_palm"



I do all this on my new 6.0 machine. When I hit the sync button on zire, 
I get the expected dmesg output (detecting the palm device), but there 
is no /dev/ucom0 device in /dev. Why?

Does anybody know what I need to do or can you point me to the docs that 
will explain this to me?

Thanks a bunch,
DW
