Just out of curiosity, what does that SW offer?

I don't own a Nikon camera, but I access mine as a USB mass storage
device as well.
I added the following two lines to /etc/modules:
usb-storage
uhci-hcd
I also configured udev to automatically create a device whenever I plug
in the camera (/etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules):
BUS="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}="4015", SYSFS{idVendor}="0686", KERNEL="sd?1", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="camera usb/cam"
I used [1] to find out how to add rules to udev.
