And if it doesn't work after manually modprobing, but works when you
mknod, then you have a udev problem.

This differs.  I have an m500 and a Tungsten T1.  One of them uses
ttyUSB0 for syncing, the other uses ttyUSB1.  A coworkers Tungsten T3
uses a different port than my T1 does, but the same as my m500 does.
