Description of problem:
When I connect the handheld to the cradle, I have to run synce-serial-start to start the connection. The following files make udev run the program automatically when the handheld is plugged in.

Here's what we need:

- a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ called 20-ipaq.rules containing this line:
DRIVER="ipaq", NAME="ipaq", SYMLINK="ttyUSB%n"
It will match any handheld using the ipaq driver, create a device /dev/ipaq, and create a symlink /dev/ttyUSB0 for compatibility.

- a script in /etc/udev/scripts called synce.dev :
------8<---------8<---------
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$ACTION" = "add" ] ; then
        /usr/bin/logger -p kern.info -t synce "iPAQ plugged, starting connection..."
        # start the connection, and remove empty lines from output (to keep the log clean)
        synce-serial-start | grep -v "^$" | /usr/bin/logger -p kern.info -t synce
elif [ "$ACTION" = "remove" ] ; then
        /usr/bin/logger -p kern.info -t synce "iPAQ removed"
fi
------8<---------8<---------

- the directory in /etc/dev.d/ipaq containing a symlink to the synce.dev script:
# ll /etc/dev.d/ipaq
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 28 nov 28 19:23 synce.dev -> ../../udev/scripts/synce.dev

- That's all. To get started, all the user has to do is to run "synce-serial-config ipaq" as root. This could be documented in a README in the package.

I'm going to post the script and a patch to the spec file to enable all this.
