20 Actually, the output he sent is exactly what you get if you don't have a
21 driver installed. It just states that a device was plugged in and
22 nothing more. If you have a driver then it gives you a bit more output.

24 The other post seems right - if make menuconfig is being used look under
25 the USB settings where USB serial support is enabled, and there will be
26 a list of supported serial devices. I believe that the actual config
27 item CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO will appear in the help pop-up when you
28 have the right item selected. Alternatively it shows up in the
29 bottom-right pane if you use make xconfig. You can also safely just
30 edit this line in the .config file (remove the # and set it =y, and get
31 rid of the "is not set" verbage).
