USB and 1.1a

Just yesterday I upgraded my system from 1.0 to 1.1a, and now it seems that I can't sync my USB visor. Normally when I press the hotsync button a USB connection is made for the data to go through, but now when I load usbview and hit the button no USB connection is made at all.

Anybody know what could have happened?

Just to be sure, does lsmod show the correct modules loaded? The handspring needs usb-uhci (or possible usb-ohci), usbserial, and visor. If those modules are loaded, or the support is compiled into the kernel, then the mechine *should* recognize the PDA. What do you see in /var/log/messages? Any messages that it's been detected, or maybe nothing at all? Try running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and then plug in your cradle and try doing a hotsync.

Also, which device files in /dev where you using before to access your Handspring?

Yes, all of the correct modules are loaded, inc. uhci, usb-serial, and visor.. nothing comes up at all in /var/log/messages when I hit the hotsync button, as I said before, no USB connection is registered at all..

The devices it uses are /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1, both of which were created correctly as everything worked fine before I upgraded to 1.1a
