I don't know if you've already had an answer to this, but please try
the appended version of devfsd. It will create compatibility entries
for /dev/ttyUSB*. One thing confuses me: you seem to be creating/using
/dev/usb/ttyUSB* devices, not /dev/ttyUSB* devices.
I was under the impression that the official names for USB serial
devices was /dev/ttyUSB* and not /dev/usb/ttyUSB*.
Russell: is the patch you sent me for USB serial compat names bogus?
