Computer not realizing that a device has been disconnected?

[Kal Sze]

Hi all,

There seems to be a bug in some component of the SynCE-related stack (i.e.
kernel, ipaq kernel module, pppd, synce-connector, hal-dccm, librapi2,
rapi2-tools, and whatnot) where it doesn't realize that a Windows CE 6
(i.e. non-RNDIS) device has been physically disconnected, such that, if I
execute `pstatus -p hht-1` when I know that the hht-1 device is no longer
physically connected, the command would still complete with an exit code of
0. Has anybody experienced this? Anybody knows which component is at fault?
Is it possible to resolve it without rebooting the computer.

I also happen to have the /var/log/messages, if that would be of any help.

The environment:
SuSE Linux Enterprise 11, 32-bit, using the SynCE packages from the
openSUSE build service (
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mobile:/synchronization:/FACTORY/SLE_11/i586/
).

Best Regards,
Kal

Do you mean non-rndis ? WM6 uses rndis by default, unlesyou've turned it
off ?

Yes, that would help. What is the actual output of the command ?
