Hello!

Maybe a look to the log file can give some clues: Plug in the GPS, wait 
a few seconds and afterwards open a console and type 'dmesg' (without 
the quotes, obviously) - there should be something about usb and 
usb-storage or similar. Post this part of the output (last 20 lines or 
so), maybe we find a hint...

Best regards,
Albin
