[treo600 and udev config problem...]
  

The problem is that on the class tty sysfs node, which is what is
evidently passed to udev, the BUS is not usb, and the idProduct,
idVendor and product SYSFS attributes are missing.  The correct sysfs
node does exist but is not processed by udev.

What is the fix for this?  E.g., should I disable the usbserial or visor
kernel modules?
    

If you disable the visor module you won't be able to communicate
with the treo at all (apart from with pilot-link pre-release version
for which there isn't a reliable gnome-pilot port...)

The solution has to be to figure out where the USB udev messages
are going.  Could some other udev rule be matching it?  Can you
add a udev rule to log the udev environment for every event?
  

I'll look into this.  Thank you for the suggestion.

As far as I know, this problem hasn't been reported before.
What kernel version are you using?
  

I'm running the latest stable kernel, 2.6.12.3, with the mppe patch (for pptp support), using the Debian etch distribution (the new code name for testing).

I'll continue sleuthing and would of course appreciate any other ides you might have.
