[gentoo-amd64] USB serial port adapter

2006-04-14 Thread Mark Haney
I have a laptop that has no serial ports, but I have a USB to Serial 
cable for it.  Up til now I've been booting to Windows (yeah I know) to 
use it since I couldn't find what port to use in Gentoo.  What's the 
best way of determining which port it's using?

Do you have a driver compiled for the convertet into the kernel? Or a module?

use lsusb -v from usbutils to identify the chipset it uses and turn
the one on in your kernel config.

Normally the created serial ports are called /dev/ttyUSB[0..9]

Take a look at 
dmesg | tail -n 30
after you've connected the adapter ;-)

Ok,
I've learnt my lesson.  I won't send a test again.  It turned out to be
the university mail settings that had changed.
