I am trying to get my Canon Optura 20 to be recognized by gphoto2 on my
Slackware 10.2 box. When I plug it into a USB port, the kernel prints the
following in my messages file:

Feb 15 21:16:39 MyBox kernel: usb 3-2: new full speed USB device
using uhci_hcd and address 4

whereas in syslog I have

Feb 15 21:16:40 MyBox kernel: usb 3-2: khubd timed out on ep0in

After this, if I do cat /proc/bus/usb/devices, one of the entries printed
out is

T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=04a9 ProdID=307f Rev= 0.01
S: Manufacturer=CANON Inc.
S: Product=Canon DVC
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=96ms

I guess this means that the device has been recognized all right.
In addition, gphoto2 --list-ports returns

Devices found: 1
Path Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
usb: Universal Serial Bus

However, gphoto2 --auto-detect can't recognize the camera. What I am
missing? The syslog entry does not look good, but I have no clue of its
meaning. I am running a 2.6.11 kernel.

Suggestions, anyone?
