Hi Philip + Darrick,

I successfully built myself a svn (rev. 2234) image from the 
0.6-branch (couldn't get trunk running).
The usb2serial-adapter works well (geni586 + net4801) when you plug 
it into the RUNNING box.
It is then attached to "/dev/ttyUSB0" (with 9600 baud).
--------------
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
pl2303 1-1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
usb 1-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
-------------
But after a reboot it is gone. You have to replug it to make it work again.

Michael
