I have just bought a navigational GPS unit which serves for use in-car and whilst walking. It has a label on the back which says: Win CE .NET 4.2 Core.
I also have a Thinkpad which came with Windows XP. This GPS unit is recognised by XP using active sync but I'd prefer to use RAKI (synce-kde) running under Linux.
After plugging the unit into a USB port I get this in the logs:
kernel: usb 1-7.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 33 kernel: usb 1-7.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32 kernel: usb 1-7.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32 kernel: usb 1-7.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 34 kernel: usb 1-7.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
There is nothing else in the logs relating to that connection and RAKI does nothing - it apparently does not recognise it and I don't know what the error means.
It's been a while since I did any work on synce, but do you have the ipaq driver compiled for your kernel and if so does it get loaded ok when you plug the GPS device in? You need a PPP connection to come up to the device which RAKI will then talk over IIRC. synce-serial-start, if installed, might well help bring this up.
