Check dmesg when you plug it in - is it detected? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Try checking out lsusb - can you figure out what driver is needed? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Make sure you have CONFIG_USB_SERIAL set in your kernel. You probably |
| 14 |
also need the appropriate driver for your adapter. I have PL2303 set |
| 15 |
for mine. Here is my lsusb output for the serial ports: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial |
| 18 |
Port |
| 19 |
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial |
| 20 |
Port |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If the kernel doesn't have USB_SERIAL support enabled you definitely |
| 23 |
won't get a ttyUSB device. You also need hotplug properly configured, |
| 24 |
but that should pretty-much work out of the box with gentoo. You might |
| 25 |
need to tweak it if you have more than one and want to ensure it gets |
| 26 |
the same port each time (wouldn't do to have my two mythtv satellite |
| 27 |
boxes getting random assignments every time I reboot). |
