Geoffrey, I have some doubt that my recommendation is going to solve your problem, but since nobody has chimed in here with any other suggestions, I'll tell you what I know. Disclaimer: I've never synced a PDA, so I'm not familiar with that side of things. A few months ago, I provided a patch to the MCT-U232 kernel module which fixed a problem that prevented writes to my Garmin GPS35 TracPak GPS receiver from being seen by the GPS using the Belkin F5U109 USB/RS-232 converter (which, as you already know, uses the MCT-U232 kernel module). In my case, I was able to _receive_ GPS data just fine, but the GPS never "heard" any of my commands. This patch should already be in the official kernel releases (I think it went in at 2.4.25 and 2.6.1, IIRC). Furthermore, Pete Zaitcev (of Red Hat) had another patch to that same kernel module to fix a couple of other issues. I'm not intimately familiar with the details though. So my suggestion is to upgrade your kernel or, failing that, if you're adept at compiling your own kernel modules, dig into the Linux-USB-Devel list archives for my (and/or Pete's) patch source code: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=linux-usb-devel Finally, if you do actually get around to trying that, please let this list know if that helps or not. If you don't have any luck, you might want to run this problem query over to the Linux-USB-Devel list. Good luck!
