Yeah, I guess that is about the only option left. I'll start with porting the old driver to 3.0. That way we can make absolutely sure that the driver is the problem. I am beginning to wonder if there isn't something else going on entirely. For example, perhaps usb autosuspend triggers on the new kernel and not on the old? Anyway, as said, porting the old driver will eliminate this possibility, provide a starting point to find the problem, and it will allow you to use your gps on 3.0 ;-). > Unfortunately in about 1 week, I will be away from my instruments for > a time, perhaps up to a month.

I am running out of ideas, so a fresh pair of eyes could be useful. Thanks!
