Description of problem: In FC6 I could sync my palm OS device (Palm T|X) using USB without requiring any special configuration. In F7 this stopped working. Looking at the change log of the udev package I found this: * Qua Mar 07 2007 Harald Hoyer <harald at redhat.com> - 106-1 - version 106 - specfile cleanup - removed pilot rule Now, I have to perform explicit (somewhat arcane) configuration to have this device working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-106-4.1.fc7.x86_64 How reproducible: Determinist Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug device 2. Press the hotsync button 3. Actual results: The /dev/ttyUSB0 devices created have root only permissions and the /dev/pilot symlink wasn't created. Expected results: The /dev/ttyUSB0 devices created have the console user permissions and the /dev/pilot is created.
The right solution is to use hal. (See bz 158809). I'm reassigning this bug to hal component.
With the solution of bug #280251, this isn't an issue to me anymore.
