Actually there are two distinct problems.
The first one (or actually the biggest one) being, the use of a beta
pilot-link library the broke everything.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160926)
The other one being udev is slower the a moving glacier when it comes to
creating the /dev/ttyUSB* entries which, in turn, causes the pilot-link
to timeout.
