Normally you do not need to insmod any USB device drivers (ie usbserial) as they will be automatically loaded by looking at the USB ids.
The device is not being created as the usbserial driver does not support the usb id of your garmin gps. What you need is the module garmin_gps.ko It should live in the same directory as usbserial.ko I'm not sure why this is not being loaded automatically, as it looks like it is built in the kernel config. I guess either it has not been copied across, or you need to try to insmod it manually ( don't know why though), or you have an older kernel config. This will create the /dev/ttyUSB0 device.
