Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
Note: This may be related to Bugs #25653,4179 and 51266.
udev-079-0ubuntu34
The current udev rule for Palm devices is as follows:
(from /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules lines 20-23)
# Create /dev/pilot symlink for Palm Pilots
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", \
SYMLINK+="pilot"
Upon plugging in a Tungsten E and pressing the hotsync button, dmesg
reports:
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usbcore: registered new driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
usbcore: registered new driver usbserial_generic

drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Sony Clie 5.0
visor 2-2:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected
usb 2-2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usb 2-2: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1
usbcore: registered new driver visor
drivers/usb/serial/visor.c: USB HandSpring Visor / Palm OS driver
usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 2
visor 2-2:1.0: device disconnected
As is apparent in the above dmesg dump, the kernel recognizes the
Tungsten E as a "Handspring Visor / Palm OS". Therefore, the symlink
does not get created.
If you change line 21 to the following:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}=="*Palm*", \
udev recognizes the Tungsten E as a palm and creates the symlink.
I do also have an old m515 which exhibits the exact same behavior
(reported as a "Handspring Visor / Palm OS"). The change to *Palm*
fixes both of them.
Thank you,
Mark Overstreet
