Palm m515 USB HotSync with FreeBSD 5.4-R via /dev/ucom0 ?

[Gary E. RAFE]

Can anyone on this list comment on whether
pilot-link-0.12.0-pre4 can talk to
a Palm m515 over (native) USB on FreeBSD 5.4-R ?

After HotSync-ing successfully with this version of pilot-link
using a serial-cable cradle (/dev/cuaa0) on this system
(Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100),
I dug out my USB cradle to see what might come of it.

I built a custom kernel with both ucom(4) & uvisor(4)
compiled in, and the Palm appears to be recognized
when the HotSync button is activated on the
USB cradle
(i.e., the device /dev/ucom0 is created).

The command

	pilot-xfer --port usb:/dev/ucom0 --list

however, fails, with the kernel issuing the USB debug
messages:

## Hit HotSync button ##

	uvisor_detach: sc=0xc1b08680
	ucom_detach: sc = 0xc1b08680, tp = 0xc1a6d400

Note that the command

	pilot-xfer --port /dev/cuaa0 --list

works as advertised when the serial-cable cradle
is used.

Pointers/suggestions to debugging this
are appreciated.
