linux stops recognizing palm?


trying to get my palm synching reliably with gpilot on ubuntu breezy. when the system first boots, it'll recognize the palm:
Code:
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
[99411.460997] visor 1-1:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected
[99411.464891] usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[99411.467362] usb 1-1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now attached to ttyUSB1
i'll be able to sync, but then the connection will drop:
Code:
[99485.853463] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 3
[99485.855667] visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
[99485.859706] visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
[99485.864954] visor 1-1:1.0: device disconnected
sometimes if i unplug/replug, it will recognize it again, but sometimes it won't. i'll plug it in, the palm will beep, but dmesg/syslog will be silent. i can't figure out how to reconnect it short of a reboot, which is a real PITA. any thoughts?

What kind of Palm is it. Since it connects to two USB ports when it is first connected it sounds like a Palm T5.
