If the M500 is USB, then you'll probably need a newer pilot-link.
Most distros ship pilot-link 0.9.5, which doesn't support USB well
at all; the pilot-link people have made huge advances in USB support
recently, but only quite recently came out with a non-beta release.
I hope all the distros will pick up 0.11.*, as it works much better
with USB PDAs.

Pick it up from pilot-link.org, and if you use desktop syncing software
(like jpilot or the gnome or ximian desktop) then you'll probably
have to rebuild that as well, or find a build that uses pilot-link 0.11.

(Unfortunately pilot-link.org seems to be down ATM.)
