This seems to be a different problem, unless the other guy is not
seriously mistaken. In his case the original device nodes were not
created.

If we were talking about a proposed patch for udev, it would belong
here. I keep the hope.

There would also be a significant development content if we dicussed
how to find a Pilot in a more robust way with udev. The thing is,
we cannot ship KERNEL="ttyUSB1", because of dynamic numbering.
