gadget serial means the Z is acting as a serial port when plugged into
the PC, what you want to load is "usbserial" which is the generic usb
serial modules for most hardware
try plugging the garmin in then and a new device node called
/dev/ttyUSB0 should be created by udev, then tellgpsbabel to use the
serial module instead of the usb one and point it to the newly created
dev node
this should solve all your problems, you may need to modprobe the usb
host modules if they are not already loaded ("ohci-hcd")
hope it helps
