Standard install . All run perfect. I connect a USB-Serial adapter model HL340, it has pl2303 chip but NEVER appear the /dev/ttysUSB0 device. In other machines I found inmediatelly a new /dev/ttyUSB0 and all work perfectly. I see in dmesg, signal that a device is connected usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_and address 3 But in the Asus i7 the device never appear. I run # lsusb Bus 008 Device 002: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 036: ID 2773:0104 .......... Bus 002 Device 036: ID 2773:0104 and see others devices (v 1.1, v2 and v3) BUT I don't see the device. I read near 100 internet pages and Found this # modprobe pl2303 vendor=0x4348 product=0x5523 --force And I found it in # lsusb Bus 003 Device 003: ID 4348:5523 WinChipHead USB->RS 232 adapter with Prolifec PL 2303 chipset But again, i never found the /dev/ttysUSB0 I have some dudes: * the hardware is HL340, but the module should be usbserial? pl2303? both? * i used the --force to load the module, but Iḿ not sure is the right module. * In a 32 bits environment it works as /dev/ttysUSB0, may be the 64 bits is the problem? * Its a very know hardware, but it doesn't work with 13.10 and 10-2013 ? --- ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: dcialdella 2083 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: dcialdella 2083 F...m pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=b1259da7-9b8b-4e01-84f2-95335e513696 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-21 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
