As EEEubuntu is based on Hardy (8.04) you will need to do the following! sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0×0000 product=0×0000
Run dmesg again and you shall see lines similar like this : usbserial_generic 1-1:1.0: generic converter detected usb 1-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic As you can see, the new serial port device is mapped to /dev/ttyUSB0. You can instruct Ubuntu to load this module automatically by include the line : usbserial vendor=0×0000 product=0×0000″ inside /etc/modules file. On Tue, August 11, 2009 10:58 pm, William M.
