Sony Clie USB sync (Jpilot and Kpilot) has been OK for years, but since
2.6.35 (and 2.6.35.6) has failed.
2.6.34.1 (and earlier) works OK.
With 2.6.35, device files are created OK, and LSUSB shows PDA correctly:

lsusb -vv seems to contain identical values for both 2.6.34.1 and 2.6.35:

But both Jpilot and Kpilot fail to connect-
(timeout, no activity, 'unable to access /dev/ttyUSB0')
Workaround is to copy the 2.6.34.1 versions of visor.c and visor.h to
the 2.6.35 (or 2.6.35.6) code base, and recompile/reinstall. Then
everything works again.
Problem has been reproduced with 2 different Clie PDAs..
