How to configure the tty with a usb serial device

How to configure the tty with a usb serial device

[scott]

Hello,

Is hotplug the right place to set up (e.g. stty ispeed 4800) a USB 
serial device?  I can see that after udev runs and creates the 
/dev/tts/USB0, the only call left to hotplug is with a type of tty.  But 
I have no tty.agent (of course I can cp usb.agent tty.agent which I've 
done), but what would be the equivalent of usbmodules?  Also how can 
hotplug "know" the /dev/tts/USBx device that was created by the udev 
rule, there doesn't seem to be any environment variable for that?

kernel 2.6.15.4

Probably not, as most modern distros don't even use hotplug anymore :)

udev can handle this properly, try that instead.

good luck,
