This is the output from dmesg:
[637797.771076] usb 2-3.1: New USB device found, idVendor=082d, idProduct=0100
[637797.771083] usb 2-3.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[637797.771087] usb 2-3.1: Product: Handspring Visor

This is from the output from 'modinfo visor' (a command of which I was not aware. Thanks, Florian):

That last alias line matches the vendor and product ID, so that looks good. So, is there a way to have udev created /dev/pilot when the hotsync button is pressed?
