I have a proprietary cable from garmin that is male serial on one end and the other end jacks into the weird socket on top of my handheld gps. So I bought a serial->usb cable from RS. It came with a driver for winbloze and it works fine with netstumbler. I'm having problems getting SUSE to see it though.
I thought about buying a new cable since I read some posts on eham.com about ham operators having trouble with the RS usb->serial cable. But I don't want to give up on this cable yet, because I spent ~$40 on it and I think some people have been successful getting it to work in Linux.
I know, I should have done my research first and found a converter that was known-good for Linux, but I'm an impatient padawan and have much to learn. And I'd rather figure this one out since I'll learn the inner-workings of SUSE/Linux that much better in the process. I've got plenty of time, but if anyone can chime in and help it would be much appreciated.
When you plug in the cable to your computer's USB port, what is printed in /var/log/messages? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
