Hi Steve, Sorry about the long delay in responding. Unfortunately, the stock driver in Ubuntu 9.04 doesn't fully recognize the eZ430-RF2500. It shows up when you run "lsusb", but there is no /dev/ttyUSBn created. I believe there is a difference between the eZ430-F2013 and the eZ430-RF2500 with respect to working under Linux. Maybe it will work when I upgrade to 9.10, which is officially out today. At least there's a reasonable explanation for why I can't make your mspfet_driver. Thanks for your help. --John
