  [[Anchor(pilot-link)]]
  === pilot-link ===
+ The `pilot-link` package now blacklists the `visor` module by default. Users are encouraged to try the direct USB access present in recent versions of `pilot-link`. This is enabled by passing the `--port usb:` option to the various `pilot-link` tools, instead of the serial devices used in the past (typically `/dev/pilot` or `/dev/ttyUSB0`, `/dev/ttyUSB1` etc.). For example:
  
- The `pilot-link` package in Fedora 9 is updated to use the combination of HAL and PolicyKit to set the permission so that Palm device files can synchronize.  The `pilot-link` package also removes the `visor` module from the kernel by blacklisting the module.  Previously, `pilot-link` used udev and the `visor` module to set permissions on device nodes.  For more information, refer to the `pilot-link` README.fedora file and also the long discussion in:
+ {{{
+ pilot-xfer --port usb: --list
+ }}}
  
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=280251
+ `hal-info` and `PolicyKit` have been updated to correctly set permissions for the necessary USB devices. If you have any existing manual configuration please ensure it is reverted to avoid possible conflicts.
+ 
+ For further information see `README.fedora` included in the `pilot-link` package.
