that's sort of a worthless rant since FC-2 was the early 2.6 kernel and
udev really changed as the 2.6 kernel has matured. So yes, of course
they broke things in udev but that is the point of going forward. The
last thing is the devices which obviously need to be added - not only
covered in udev-rules but also in gpilot-devices

I got fairly well educated in this with my Kyocera 7135 and it made
sense. I got pretty far with the Treo 650 but I don't understand the
error.
