Comment 0 for bug 874181

After upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, I no longer found a '/dev/ttyUSB0' for my serial-to-USB converter. The device is part of a Xilinx FPGA board and is a "10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x Composite Device".

Every time I plugged in the device, dmesg showed the device coming up and 'brltty' did *something* to it. At this point, no device was present in '/dev'.

[ 5181.130942] cp210x 1-1.4:1.0: cp210x converter detected
[ 5181.203658] usb 1-1.4: reset full speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
[ 5181.296637] usb 1-1.4: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 5181.623749] usb 1-1.4: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by cp210x while 'brltty' sets config #1

After removing 'brltty', the '/dev/ttyUSB0' device appears again like it used to.
