I have been trying to get a Canon Powershot A80 working with NetBSD 2.0
and gphoto2. So far this has been unsuccessful, usbdevs reports that
the camera can be seen, but gphoto2 from pkgsrc fails to see it.

There is some info about Linux & FreeBSD usb issues on the gphoto web
site, however nothing about NetBSD :-(

I was wondering if this was an issue with a user level usb library
failing to access the device. I tried changing the perms on
/dev/ugen0.04 with no effect. Has anyone else managed to get a usb
camera to be recognised with gphoto2 or has some clue as to what needs
to be done...

TIA,
Dave
