Usb to serial converter problem in Fedora core 9

[Pakku]

Hi all.............

I am using Fedora core 9.....
My machine is (Compaq presario SG3450IL)
Spec: Intel c2Duo E4700
Mobo: MSI....

Since this machine doesnt have a serial port.. and no of PCI slot is 1,

I am using a USB to serial converter(BAFO BF-1284)..
this device is detected in "/proc/bus/usb/devices" as below.....

Has /dev/ttyUSB0 been created?

[Pakku]

Yes /dev/ttyUSB0 is creating..
also I linked "ln -b /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0

but It is not working perfectly...

[trigpoint]

I think you may be confusing it by creating the symbolic link. Fedora expects ttyS0 to be a standard serial port.

Delete the symbolic link, and try using /dev/ttyUSB0 instead. You may need to fix the permissions on ttyUSB* in udev.
