Hello,

I've been using FTDI's usb-serial converters for a few years now with
great success.

I have not used minicom in a month or so and now it's broken
on all(3) of the laptops where it use to work. I have googled
for a while today, with not luck on this issue.

It the /etc/minicom/minirc.dfl used to use
/dev/ttyUSB0 on several machines.

Now I get: nu such file or directory.

CD into /dev and sure enough ttyUSB0 nore ttyUSB* is not there
so this is at least a udev issue?


Also, I went to rebuild the gentoo-2.6.24-r4 kernel and could not
locate the driver item for ftdi (maybe it has been combined into
a mega driver or such?

Note, I still have minicom working on desktop systems that have regular
serial (16550) ports.

ideas?

James
