USB File Transfer MacOS 10.6.5 to Android 2.2?

I'm trying to get a MacBook Air (MBA) running 10.6.5 to recognize a Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.2) vis the USB interface for simple file transfers back and forth. Nothing works so far. I've tried many things! Smilie

I noticed when I connect my phone to the MBA, there is a message in system.log

Quote:

May 22 17:33:26 MBA pcscd[235]: Non-smartcard device launched pcscd [Vendor: 0X4E8, Product: 0X681C]

When I check for a driver for pcscd so I can get this working, I can't find one.

Any help possible on this? Anyone in the universe got MacOS to mount Android 2.2 as a mass storage device?

I have searched the net, nearly exhaustively, and so far, I can't find a workable solution; except to upgrade the phone to Android 3.0 and try the "Android File Transfer" utility.

Thanks!

ehci

EHCI(4)                                                    BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                                                    EHCI(4)

NAME

     ehci -- USB Enhanced Host Controller driver

SYNOPSIS

     device ehci

DESCRIPTION

     The ehci driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface, which is used by USB 2.0 controllers.

     EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the USB 2.0 protocol.  This means that they normally have one or more companion
     controllers (i.e., ohci(4) or uhci(4)) handling USB 1.x devices.  Consequently each USB connector is electrically connected to two USB con-
     trollers.  The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector
     appear to connect to different USB busses.

SEE ALSO

     ohci(4), uhci(4), usb(4)

HISTORY

     The ehci device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.

BUGS

     The driver is not finished and is quite buggy.

     There is currently no support for isochronous transfers.
