Your documentation may not have taken udev into account. Assuming that you're using standard Etch, run tail -f /var/log/syslog and then plug in the gps and see if a message appears that tells you what device it connects to. I've never hooked my GPS up to the computer. However, for comparison, my Palm comes up as something like /dev/pilot.
