I even tried to read about udev but found it very difficult to me. :^(

I found at http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.irda.general/month=20070101
A message whith the same description of my converter and the response
informs that should be created, for this converter, a device /dev/ttyUSB
"Manufaturer: ARKMICRO
Vendor Id: 18ec
Product Id: 3118
...
...The ARK3116 USB-to-serial adapter is supported by the kernel (at least with
the latest 2.6 ones), so all you need to do is compile the ARK3116 driver,
compile irtty-sir as well, and you're basically done: "irattach /dev/ttyUSB0"
should do the trick..."
Also at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1962929.html
A message show that this converter creates a /dev/ttyUSB
...
kernel: [ 375.720348] usb 3-2: ark3116 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
...
The desktop which with I intend to use this converter is being used in
the laboratory for data acquisition and running Lenny.
Because that will be difficult to update the kernel or distribution (eg
Squeeze) so I'll try to download the driver ark3116.c, edit the source
code, including the VendorID and Productid, then recompile and load.
I believe it will be a less risky procedure.
I was in doubt how to do that but I found some information on the links
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2184457)
http://avr.auctionant.de/ark3116_linux_driver/index.html
I hope that works
Thanks again for your attention,
