Some pesky checksums came in my way, but it seems that we're trying to
open the devices just as we should.

We produce some terribly bad error messages, Like:

"Unable to open /dev/ttyS31 Suunto (EON Steel)" even when we're trying
to open the hid device first. We shouldn't try the serial port anyway,
and not include it in the error message.
This is a quite old and annoying bug, in subsurface.


Brendan: Could you try to run subsurface from the command line, and
seeing what it says there?
