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

If you want more info, get on irc and go to irc.pilot-link.org and the 
channel #pilot-link. setuid is the guy who writes pilot-link and he's 
the one who told me that palms won't work, and that it's a freebsd 
problem. He said it was the usb stack.

hope this helps.
