Summary: GPSU can not connect to GPS device with serial USB
                    connector
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Running GPS Utility 5.02 under wine 1.0.1 (provided by Ubuntu). Most functions
seem to work, but I get a timeout when trying to connect to my GPS device. GPS
is Garmin Geko 201 with serial port, connecting via USB serial adaptor.

This function used to work, using GPSU 4.95 and GPSU 4.99 under a 0.9?
(whatever version of wine was shipped with Ubunutu Hardy Heron) version of
wine. Since moving to Jaunty Jackalaope I haven't had it working.

I have recreated the problem using wine 1.1.27 with both GPSU 4.99 and GPSU
5.02.

I have done the usual things to ensure the com port under wine is linked to
/dev/ttyUSB0, and permissions are OK.

Working scenarios include:
- with Windows Vista i.e. running GPSU under Windows
- using gpsman under Linux - I can connect to the GPS on the serial port using
a native Linux app.

It is just using the windows app (GPSU) under wine that fails.
