Bitpim Vx6000 UDev Guide

I just upgraded to kernel 2.6 and switched to Udev. I couldn't find any help on UDEV and bitpim so here is how I got it to work. Bitpim doesn;t see any serial ports but, in my /var/log/messages file it said udev[21872]: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules[137]' applied, 'ttyUSB0' becomes 'tts/USB%n'. So I pointed my bitpim towards /dev/tts/USB0 (Because USB0 was the only device in that directory). And voilla works...

Hope it helps someone.....

As I understand it:

udev just provides a framework for identifying devices uniquely and setting consistent /dev/ filenames with consistent permissions.

However, hotplug is what really sets the access to the physical device, upon connecting and registering with the driver. If you follow the bitpim docs closely, it only instructs you to setup a hotplug rule. Bitpim doesn't even use /dev/ttyUSB* -- it uses the USB diagnostic interface which doesn't have a /dev/ file.
