Hello List, I own an old palm pilot -- a m500 model -- and have the following problem when I try to sync under 6-STABLE. Whenever I pressed the HotSync-Button of that device -- connected to my 6-STABLE box via a USB cable, the pilot was recognized as a ugen0 device. Using the pilot-xfer program then failed. After some investigation on pilot-link.org I learned, that Palm devices work with FreeBSD over USB only with the ucom driver (while for those of Handspring, the generic ugen driver is sufficient). -- Well, I made sure, that ucom.ko was loaded, but the device was still detected by the ugen.ko-module instead. Even after unloading the generic driver, the ucom driver still wasn't able to detect the palm pilot. Just a few minutes ago, I cvsuped the kernel sources and rebuilt and installed the kernel along with the modules (and rebooted), but it still doesn't work. Am I the only one with that problem (and such an old pilot)? -- I have searched the FreeBSD documentation, pilot-link docu, etc.. but didn't find anything. Is it possible to somehow force the ucom driver to "accept" the pilot, or give him some hints? Thanks in advance. -- bye Carsten
