Steve,

   I was pointed there earlier in this sage, to the file 'udev.rules.'

   I have these files in /etc/udev/rules.d/:

80-libpisock.rules  compat.rules.unsupported  libmtp.rules  libsane.rules
90-hal.rules        devfs.rules.unsupported   libnjb.rules  udev.rules

   Actually, it should be in the Palm section of 80-libpisock.rules. What is
the order in which these rules are examined? Are the unumbered files
processed before the numbered two? Should I rename 80-libpisock.rules to
something like 5-libpisock.rules?

   I think it's there, but not being read before another rule steps on it.

Thanks very much!
