>Description:
I was trying to sync my (USB) Palm Zire with FreeBSD, but had problems doing so. devd creates a ttyU[0-9]+ and cuaU[0-9]+ device but devd.conf-settings only work with devicename ucom[0-9]+, because devd's recognizing only ucom[0-9]+.
This should - at least - be mentioned elsewhere (man page of devd devd.conf) or changed to be more consistent with the real device-name(s).
>How-To-Repeat:
1.) Add the following to your devd.conf:
attach 0 {
device-name "ttyU[0-9]+";
action "ln -s /dev/$device-name /dev/pilot";
};
2.) Start devd.
3.) HotSync your USB-Palm. No link will be created.
4.) Change your entry in devd.conf to the following instead:
attach 0 {
device-name "ucom[0-9]+";
action "ln -s /dev/ttyU0 /dev/pilot";
};
5.) Now everything works fine.
