Tungsten T2 sync with Kpilot 4.6 & pilot link 0.11.8


I am trying to setup my Tungsten T2 to sync with my Slackware 11 system which is running kernel 2.6.18.1, using Kpilot 4.6 & pilot link 0.11.8.

when I hit hotsync on the cradle lsusb shows the following:

Code:
 
Bus 2 Device 8: ID 0830:0060 Palm, Inc. Palm Tungsten T / Zire 71
and tail /var/log/messages shows:

Code:
Nov  3 10:00:52 EvoN600c kernel: [ 3884.378000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
Nov  3 10:00:52 EvoN600c kernel: [ 3884.531000] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Nov  3 10:00:52 EvoN600c kernel: [ 3884.535000] visor 2-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected
Nov  3 10:00:52 EvoN600c kernel: [ 3884.535000] usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Nov  3 10:00:52 EvoN600c kernel: [ 3884.535000] usb 2-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1

I cannot get kpilot or pilot-xfer to connect to my Palm.
I have tried hitting hotsync on the cradle first before connecting via kpilot or pilot-xfer. I have tried specifying/dev/ttyUSB1 and
/dev/ttyUSB0 as the default port.

ttyUSB* does not show up under /dev even after hitting hotsync although dmesg or /var/log/messages says its connected to ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB0.

Also when trying: pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -l I get:

Code:
The device /dev/ttyUSB1 does not exist..
   Possible solution:

        mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c <major> <minor>

   Unable to bind to port: /dev/ttyUSB1
   Please use --help for more information
Can anyone suggest anything to help me solve this problem?

Well got it working...Heres a link to what helped me in case anyone else needs it:

http://howto.pilot-link.org/ppp/cb.html

/dev/ttyUSB1 and /dev/ttyUSB0 didn't exist so I had to do:

Code:
broccoli:~# mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 
broccoli:~# mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
After that syncing worked and kpilot saw my device .
