Since you are using a 2.4.19 kernel, if you have mounted devfs on /dev, pressing the hotsync button will make the devfs daemon, devfsd, create the device when it is needed and remove it when it is not needed. If you have not mounted devfs on /dev, you will need to create the /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1. # mknod /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 # mknod /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 Check /var/log/messages to see if USB registers the device when you press the hotsync button. > > Thanks > > Chris > > > > > > > Hope this helps, > > > -Mario Camou. > > > > > > On Wed, 2002-09-25 at 09:18, chris cotsapas wrote: > > > > > > Hi all, a newbie question here: > > > > > > I'm trying to sync my new m130 on a USB port.
