All I do is:

usbid=`dmesg | grep UbiSync | sed -e 's/^.*usb //' -e 's/:.*$//'`
echo 1 > `find /sys/ -type d -name $usbid`/bConfigurationValue

which enables the monitor.

I've googled on the seat value you mentioned as I'm not familiar with
this value, but came up empty. Should I apply a seat value, and if so,
can you tell me how?

If it all should work, I would be more than happy to provide more
information, or test patches.

As it is a selfconfigured kernel I might have missed a critical
configuration setting. Is there anything useful I can post which was not
in my first mail? (or just recap)
