Dear SuSEians,
I've been toying with my digital camera (Toshiba PDR-M61) for some time trying to mount it as a device via its USB connection. Linux Format issues 19, 20, & 22 all had info on mounting USB digital cameras as a storage device, but I'm still having problems.
SuSE 7.3 loads the usbcore & usb-ohci modules for me ('lsmod' follows). ... usb-ohci 17680 0 (unused) usbcore 47264 1 [usb-ohci] ...
Under /proc/bus/usb/devices the following info shows up upon connecting the camera. T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=02 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=1132 ProdID=4335 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=TOSHIBA S: Product=PDR-M61 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.)

That last line means: It is a "sloppy" USB device and the vendor did not put a valid ident string in that thing. There is a file drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h in the linux kernel source, that contains such devices (matched by vendor and product ID). But yours is not yet included in the upcoming 2.4.18 kernel. So you can either hack it in or try gphoto (check their website if it is supported).
