Hey,
first of all please excuse me messing up the mailing-list... (for
those of you who read announce) - I must've been to busy thinking
about my msp430.. ;-)
I have some issues running a via USB connected ez430-F2013 with a
Debian
(Lenny) Linux and a 2.6.26-1-686 kernel.
I found tons of hints concerning kernel 2.4. and earlier and the
information that all of the driver is supposed to work with newer
kernels out-of-the-box.
I'm not sure if it actually works for me; as I connect the device to
my computer dmesg tells me this:

As I run msp430-gdbproxy I get the following error:

I guess the problem is that there is no /dev/ttyUSBx, but I'm running
out of ideas. Can anyone give me a hint what's going wrong here?
I'm a student and would really like to programm the msp using Linux,
since right now it is the only thing I can't do using my one and only
OS ;-)
