Ftdi sio.ko

to enable support for FTDI's USB serial converter, you need to enable

USB Serial Converter support  --->
  <M>   USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)

in your kernel config.

After loading the driver module manually by

 modprobe ftdi_sio

you should find /dev/ttyUSB0 at your system

• MessageLog (run 'dmesg')

kernel: usb.c: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
kernel: usb.c: USB device number 2 default language ID 0x409
kernel: Manufacturer: GUDEADS
kernel: Product: Expert mouseCLOCK USB II
kernel: SerialNumber: FTPNFZVE
kernel: usbserial.c: FTDI FT232BM Compatible converter detected
kernel: usbserial.c: FTDI FT232BM Compatible converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)

For most recent linux distributions, you do not need to load the driver manually, thanks to hotplug daemons. In this case just plug the USB device and start working with /dev/ttyUSB0 .
