I have connected my mote into the usb. Then I've typed DMESG and it seems
that kernel have found a USB device on usb-0000:00:07.2-1. Which usb is?
tty0? ....

Message of DMESG:

*[ 3480.206955] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
[ 3518.749165] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address
4
[ 3518.978423] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 3518.992497] drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: This device cannot do calls on
its own. It is no modem.
[ 3520.256613] hiddev96: USB HID v1.01 Device [Texas Instruments Texas
Instruments MSP-FET430UIF] on usb-0000:00:07.2-1*

Thank you in advance.
