=>Palm pilot, by the moment, cannot sync apparently due to a bug on

=>Isnt that your problem? 

Please do not toppost.

The bug is not in udev. There is a problem in pilot-link in FC4. The 
problem also manifests in palms over a fixed serial port.

You need to back out the pilot-link that comes with FC4 use older fc3 
code.

Personally, I'm suprised that this has not yet been fixed.
