[wish-info] plusbd fails, /dev/x10/.api doesn't exist

You need to create the /dev/x10 devices for the drivers to communicate with
each other. The script is in scripts/makedev.sh.

2.6.9 does not have DEVFS in a useable form as it was obsoleted by udev.
The functionality of DEVFS was significantly reduced making it unusable by
the x10 drivers. Until I write something to work with udev, you have to
create the devices by hand.

I'm running kernel 2.6.9-mm1 with devfs. I just downloaded

I was stuck a few months ago trying to do this, and gave up;
maybe it was the same bug but I don't remember.
