I have the same problem with my Sony CLIE NX60 under RH 7.3.

 From what I have gleaned from the j-pilot list archives, I believe that 
the problem is that the usb software does not recognize Palm OS 5.0 for 
the Zire and Clie. The problem, I think, is in the structures as defined 
in visor.c and visor.h in drivers/usb/serial/visor for the kernel, in 
that the definitions there are for OS 4.1 and not for 5.0.

Which means that there is not much you can do until someone updates 
these. (Or write them yourself, as I am sure some will say ;-) ).

Perhaps you could post to the j-pilot mailing list and see if any else 
has this problem and has solved it. I intend to (someday), but for  
right now I am using an old Windows machine for supporting my NX60 --- a 
lot of the medical software I use has to have Windows to install or run 
and so I am stuck with it.
