I have just tried this on a SuSE Linux 10 and the /dev/usb directory
does not exist.
However plugging the tower into the USB port the /dev/legousbtower0
appears automagically.
However one thing I noticed was the owner and permissions on this new
file were root.root with rw-rw---- which means that a standard user
cannot access it by default.
I tried to recreate the file as per the tutorial, which I understand is
allowing the world rw as well, but when I unplugged and plugged the unit
back in the permissions were back to root and rw. So there might be some
system configuration that I need to track down in the SuSE distribution
overiding this manual setup.
To temporarily get around the problem I plugged the tower in and as root
assigned my user as the owner of the file and was able to download
firmware and programs without too many troubles.
