OpenSUSE: Give users access to Garmin GPS (USB)
Keywords: suse usb garmin gps
Versions: OpenSuSE 11.1
First make sure the garmin_gps module is not loaded:
rmmod garmin_gps
Adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf.local makes sure it is not loaded automatically in the future:
blacklist garmin_gps
The command lsusb gives all the information needed about the device to complete the steps below.
Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules with the following line:
ATTRS{idVendor}==\"091e\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"0003\", MODE=\"0660\", GROUP=\"users\"
A plug/unplug cycle should be enough for the change to become effective. If the permissions were set correctly can be checked with:
ls -l /dev/usbdev*
