kpilotDaemon assigns wrong port

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux 2.6.5-1.358.8kstacks; X11; i686; en_GB, en_GB.UTF-8, en) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: After several syncs, the pilot daemon often stops telling the Zire 72 which USB port to use. Thus, set kpilot to /dev/USB1 and the Zire will then connect to /dev/USB3. Set kpilot to /dev/USB3 and the Zire connects to /dev/USB1. The way round this is to change the kpilot configuration *just after* starting the sync on the Zire. So it seems to be that whatever assigns the USB device to the Zire is thinking - wrongly - that the device used by kpilot is *not* available for the Zire. Being a Zire, I am using options visor vendor=0x0830 product=0x0061 in modprobe.conf. However, I haven't figured out yet just *when* it starts doing this. Just killing kpilot and kpilotDaemon doesn't seem to reset the system - I wonder if the problem is at the USB end and has nothing to do with kpilotDaemon ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdepim-3.2.2-2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.sync 2.sync again... sometimes this will happen 3. Actual Results: /var/log/messages will show the zire connecting to the wrong USB port Expected Results: it should connect to the one selected in the kpilot configuration Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
