I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3 digital camera and just purchased a USB cable
that is supposed to work with this model. When I connect the camera to a USB
port on the desktop /var/log/messages reports:

I just learned that MTP is Media Transfer Protocol and apparently
Slackware-14.2 supports it, recognizes the camera, but cannot
communicate with it. My web searches for how to use the Canon USB cable with
linux found only one unanswered question from a couple of years ago.
I can always return to removing the SD card and using the card reader but I
assumed I could do direct downloads.
Your thoughts and suggestions are solicited.
