UMS iRiver Clix and Debian



Can anyone here give some advice on how to get the 2GB iRiver Clix
working as a UMS device? I've been having a helluva time getting this to
work. When I connect the iRiver to my computer, lsusb shows that it is
there (Bus 001 Device 014: ID 4102:112a iRiver, Ltd.), but there is no
SD* device for it in /dev, when it should be seen as /dev/sdf.

There are four devices though, that apparently are related to this:

usbdev1.14_ep00
usbdev1.14_ep02
usbdev1.14_ep81
usbdev1.14_ep83

but I am unable to figure out what to do with these. As far as I can
tell, this iRiver does indeed have UMS firmware, since ifpgui, upon
start up says it is ignoring the device with UMS firmware.

So, can anyone here who has managed to get this working with Linux (in
particular, Debian sid with kernel 2.6.18-1-k7) please please please
reveal what the "secret" incantation is to get this recognized
as /dev/sdf? (And MAKEDEV /dev/sdf doesn't do it either, BTW.)
