1 Hello,
2
3 Gentoo 2005.1, kernel 2.6.12 gentoo r10. I have a USB device that uses
4 the FTDI driver (in the kernel) to make the device appear as a serial
5 port.
6
7 When I plug in the device I get the following in my syslog:
8
9 Sep 18 03:31:23 (none) usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd
10 and address 2
11 Sep 18 03:31:23 (none) ftdi_sio 2-1:1.0: FTDI FT232BM Compatible
12 converter detected
13 Sep 18 03:31:23 (none) usb 2-1: FTDI FT232BM Compatible converter now
14 attached to ttyUSB0
15
16 but alas, there is no /dev/ttyUSB0.
17
18 Any suggestions of where I might look for what went wrong?
19
20 Below are the config parameters that relate to USB.
21
22 Thanks in advance,
23 Michael
