Check dmesg when you plug it in - is it detected? Try checking out lsusb - can you figure out what driver is needed? Make sure you have CONFIG_USB_SERIAL set in your kernel. You probably also need the appropriate driver for your adapter. I have PL2303 set for mine. Here is my lsusb output for the serial ports: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port Bus 002 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port If the kernel doesn't have USB_SERIAL support enabled you definitely won't get a ttyUSB device. You also need hotplug properly configured, but that should pretty-much work out of the box with gentoo. You might need to tweak it if you have more than one and want to ensure it gets the same port each time (wouldn't do to have my two mythtv satellite boxes getting random assignments every time I reboot). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE3pWcG4/rWKZmVWkRAtfeAJ9f3OqapDopnCMngbAqOD4Rq7s4hwCdEG1V 4YLVEcarg8qgDvPD0A2Sxgk= =NL/L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
