What is the current status of gnomepilot concerning this problem? Can I expect to get it working on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE with the ucom+uvisor drivers or do we simply have to wait for next version? Would buying a serial cradle help? I'd really appreciate your feedback, since i definitely am willing to go on trying if i only know that success ***is*** possible... Thanks, Sven P.S.: Yes, everything has been cvsup'ed before installation and the device is correctly identified as /dev/ucom0.
