It will be created automatically once you have the right driver. Go back to |
| 22 |
the kernel setup Device Drivers -> USB Support -> USB Serial Converter |
| 23 |
support, enable that as a module then under that enable the correct driver |
| 24 |
as a module. You might need to google a bit to find the correct driver from |
| 25 |
the list. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Then you just; |
| 28 |
make modules && make modules_install |
| 29 |
modprobe usbserial |
| 30 |
this might autoload the correct driver, if not modprobe the drive you just |
| 31 |
built (the kernel source help should show the driver name). It might even |
| 32 |
be possible to build all the driver modules (if you cant find the right |
| 33 |
one) and allow the autoloading to load the correct one. I cant remember |
| 34 |
what works with that stuff. |
