[OSM-newbies] Making Garmin eTrex Vista responsive to a Linux system

[Johannes Huesing]

Calling dmesg after plugging the device renders the following:

After a furtive hint of a list member I changed this to "SUBSYSTEM!=etc." and reloaded
udev, but to no avail. The above message says sth about sdc, but when I type in fdisk -l /dev/sdc,
the system says "couldn't open /dev/sdc".

Johannes Hüsing               There is something fascinating about science. 
                              One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture 
mailto:johannes at huesing.name  from such a trifling investment of fact.
