I believe minicom was just a dependency for screen....or maybe nano was. Either way, I don't think it's your problem. You can grab the deb here http://p.quinput.eu/debfarm/pool/min...c1-2_armel.deb

EDIT: realized you already installed minicom, but will leave the link up in case someone needs it in the future.
so it is not a ftdi or a pl2303 device
what it is??
as far as i know, there is no other type of a serial port to usb converter

From this post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=19 it looks like you have a Silicon Labs CP2101 chipset.
From your dmesg on page 2:


[14198.937500] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for cp2101
[14198.945312] usbcore: registered new interface driver cp2101
[14198.945312] drivers/usb/serial/cp2101.c: Silicon Labs CP2101/CP2102 RS232 serial adaptor driver v0.07
[14199.000000] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for IR Dongle

there was a cp2101.ko module in rar archive that i downloaded from blog.locationist.net

i install that module by: insmod cp2101.ko

but still no ttyUSB0

and i realised something it always shows the name of last added module as driver name
for example i install cp2101.ko module and check out dmesg
it says it is a cp2101 silicon labs serial adaptor

then when install ftdi_sio or pl2303 module
it is changing driver's name to installed module.

Interesting. Stick your USB to serial adapter in a linux box and see what chipset it uses. Or maybe even a windoze box.

ok i've got a driver cd that came with that device
here is its content
E:\Usb To Rs232\XCS-232-340
-340.exe ##which is self-extracting rar file
----it contains 5 files in it :
setup.exe ,
USBSER34.INF ,
USBSER34.SYS ,
USBSER34.VXD ,
USBSER98.INF
E:\Usb To Rs232\XCS-232-2303
-PL2303 driver.exe ##installation wizard file
-remove old driver.exe
-ser2pl.sys
-ser9pl.sys
-serspl.inf
-serspl.vxd
-serwpl.inf

what i do is installing content of first folder
then installing pl2303 driver.
to get it work on my windows desktop

i hope this helps

Okay, can you only insmod the pl2303 .ko and post your dmesg ?

yes normally but about this thread , some people try different hack for otg and usbhost.

another post on dev seems to be on the same way : hack is possible and need test for enabling usb otg ..

i'm not a n900 user actually , but i read some thread about the kernel OTG capabilité and processor too.

the problem "could" be solve by external hack.
read that :http://maemo.org/community/maemo-dev...0ccb8b29fe29fe
