Hi all,

Recently my girlfriend purchased a cable to connect her cell phone to
the computer. After some reading on the internet I found out I had to
load the modules usbserial and pl2303.
According to my online resources, a device /dev/ttyUSB0 (or
/dev/usb/USB0 or /dev/usb/tts/0) should be created.

When I insert the usb-cable, the appropriate modules are hotplugged.
According to my logs, everything should be working fine:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic
usbcore: registered new driver usbserial_generic
usbcore: registered new driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core v2.0
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for PL-2303
pl2303 2-1:1.0: PL-2303 converter detected
usb 2-1: PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new driver pl2303
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor
driver v0.12
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

The device should be there, but when you look into the /dev-directory
the device is "invisible".

I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r5 and udev-056. Is there any way to
automatically generate the device node (apart from putting it in
local.start)?

When the device is manually created (mknod ttyUSB0 c 188 0) everything
works great (way to go siefs!).

Can anybody of you point me to the right location where I can find a way
to automatically generate the device? Shouldn't the device be generated
automatically?

Thanks
Tom
