I have the following:
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB10
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB11
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB12
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB13
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB14
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB15
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB1
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB2
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB3
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB4
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB5
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB6
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB7
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB8
/dev/.static/dev/ttyUSB9

What means /.static/dev/?

I would like to know if someone have been able to communicate with

a

Garmin

GPS via a USB port and how you did it. Or maybe someone with a

good

understanding of USB and udev could help me understand what is

going on

and

what I should do to make it work.

Here is what syslog shows when I plug in my usb GPS puck.
kernel: usb 1-5.4: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address

4

kernel: usb 1-5.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
kernel: pl2303 1-5.4:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
kernel: usb 1-5.4: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Well, according to the kernel, you have a ttyUSB0. In your initial
posting, you said you didn't have a ttyUSB. Do you have a ttyUSB0
anywhere under /dev? Try using find.
