Description Arnaud Ligot 2004-06-23 08:54:44 UTC

I use a usb to serial adapter

dmesg report this :
usb 1-2: FTDI 8U232AM Compatible converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)

If I ask minicom to use /dev/usb/tts/0, it doesn't show anything. If a make a link like this : 
ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/ttyUSB0

it failed too. The only way to use my adapter is to make a link like this : 
ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/ttyS0

(I have no serial port on this laptop), It works ! :-/

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. just try to use minicom with this kind of adapter
2.
3.

how did you configured the port used by minicom? did you launched with -s option?

minicom opens whatever serial device is configured to open. default is /dev/ttyS0 but this could be changed by minicom -s
