I suspect the answer is 'none of the above' :-)

The precise message I get is:

usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x8e6/0x430) is not claimed by any active
driver.

I'm compiling MUSCLE 0.9.1 and the GemPC430 driver from source. There
are a few problems with 'make install' in MUSCLE, at least on my setup:
for example it installs reader.conf in /usr/local/etc but expects to
find it in /etc and it doesn't seem to install the pcsd binary (well
script) anywhere.

pcsd doesn't give any error message on start up.

Presumably the hotplug support registers the vend/prod id when it looks
through the bundle, my guess is that it isn't doing that for some
reason, but I'm not familiar enough with how Linux USB works to trace it
any further.

BTW do you know anything about the GPR400 device driver? One problem I
get with that is that after the 'power down' command it stays powered
down and doesn't respond to any commands (including 'reset' which I
believe is supposed to power it up again). A reboot or eject/reinsert is
needed.

Steve.
