And that's all that will work for the device in this configuration. You should be able to mount the device and read/write files to it just fine. But the garmin_gps driver will not work with this type of configuration. Perhaps you need to change something in the configuration of the device (some option buried in a USB menu) that would change the device to switch to "serial" type mode. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
