You mean the generic usb-serial drivr works for this device? Nice. Short answer, you can't automatically load the generic usb-serial driver for any devices. Use the modules /etc/ files to do it for you at boot time. Long answer, write a very tiny usb-serial driver that uses these vendor/product device ids. Then it will be automatically loaded properly. Someone has done this for another type of device in the latest -mm kernel if you want an example of this. > I've also turned udev logging on, and the following entries appear in > the syslog: > > udev[3626]: creating device node '/dev/1' > udev[3624]: creating device node '/dev/0' > > Sure enough, my /dev directory now has: > > crw------- 1 root root 0, 0 Apr 27 12:17 /dev/0 > crw------- 1 root root 0, 1 Apr 27 12:17 /dev/1 Yeah, that's a kernel bug, sorry, haven't gotten around to fixing it yet...
