Re: [coldsync-hackers] FreeBSD + m500 (USB) = pconn_usb_open: Can'tget information about USB device.

I had exactly the same problem about a week ago. it's a freebsd problem. 
you have to get a serial cable and sync with /dev/ttyd*. you can get 
them pretty cheap at moonlight-technologies.com... like 8 bucks or 
something like that. Then you only need the cradle to recharge the 
batteries.
