Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Garmin eTrex Vista H connection issues

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

You're conflating several different and unrelated problems.

Vista H has a screwy USB implementation.   We worked around that long ago.
You're running an old GPSBabel; get on 1.4.2.    The symptoms would be that
an Edge would work, but a Vista/Venture H would hang in a receive on the
interrupt pipe.

Additionally, there are some Linux kernel configuration/versions that get
libusb wrong enough that it doesn't work.   See
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26207723 for one such
report.   We've had reports off and on about weird USB problems related to
power management that were fixed by "security" updates to the kernel.

It's all quite messy.
