Does this mean that we can now sync these pdas that behave differently
(incl. Treo 90) if we give the Vendor/ProdID?

>From the dmesg when I (try to) sync my Treo 90, I get the following:

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3
usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x82d/0x200) is not claimed by any active
driver.


So does this mean that if another entry is added with Vendor: 0x82d and
ProdID: 0x200, the patch described above will work for other affected
machines?

Thanks,
