I did finally get it to work, posted under the Nexus 7 thread on the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7135656.html#7135656 I was getting a reliable connection and 8-9MB/sec transfer rate to my device. I had to try all sorts of things to try to get the thing to work. Miraculously, I got it to work after trying many things. I specifically had: * Searching for mtpfs ... [IP-] [ ] sys-fs/mtpfs-1.0:0 installed. I put an entry in /etc/fstab and manually mount it when needed: mtpfs /mnt/nexus7 fuse user,noauto,allow_other 0 0 I remember trying for weeks to get this to work, I don't know if I just lucked out.
