Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the following. I am
trying to connect my Garmin forerunner and PDA to my Ubuntu box via a
Belkin F5U409 USB-Serial cable.

I have looked around and the best that I saw was source code for a
driver called mct_u232.c.
(http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.4/0-test12/drivers/usb/serial/mct_u232.c)

I am fairly new to Ubuntu and don't know where to begin with that.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
Eric

well first, you need to compile it.

to do that, open the console and type:
sudo apt-get install build-essential (incase you dont have the
required programs to build it)

then type: gcc mct_u232.c

if all goes well, you should have a file like mct_u232.o. this is your
compiled file.

idk how you install it (the site didnt provide any direction on that).
