OK - seems that error message "The layer is not a valid
layer............." is a generic message.
The problem seems to be one of GPSBabel not communicating with the Etrex.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gpsbabel -D 9 -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS1 -o gpx -F
waypoints.out
My eTrex has a USB connection so you probably want:
gpsbabel -w -i garmin -f USB: -o gpx -F waypoints.out
In the QGIS GPS plugin (Device Editor) that would become:
%babel -w -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F %out

Hello,
I am relatively new to Quantum GIS, and run Metis under Ubuntu Hardy
(amd-64).
Tried to download data from an Etrex GPS and get an error "The layer
is not a valid layer and cannot be added to the map". The settings I
used are shown in the attached screen shot.
However I reckon I've performed this operation successfully before
under an earlier Quantum version.
This seems to be a problem under OSX
(http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1460)
<http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1460%29> but I couldn't
find any reports for other platforms.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Tony
