I am trying to make the Gentoox working with a USRobotics(RS232) modem via a USB to Serial converter.
My experience until now:
When I boot gentoox with the device(USB to Serial ) connected, the Gentoox freeze..so I did the follow : inserted the device after the system comes up . This way lets gentoox mount the device in /dev/usb/tts without any problem.
Next step:
I will link(ln -sf) /dev/modem with /dev/usb/tts. Next step is to try wdial (compile it ).
Question:
I just would like to know if the kernel is complete to install the wdial.
Suggestions and Ideas are Welcome.!
Thanks,
PS: Thank you Shallax! Great Job to allow this box became a linux machine

I do not know if this will help either of you but I just figured out how to get my usb2serial device to work.
With the device DISconnected from the computer, I ran
# cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial
# insmod usb serial.o
# insmod pl2303.o
The pl2302.o is the specific driver for the USB2serial deivce I use.
Once those modules are installed, I can plug in the usb2serial and it shows up as /dev/usb/tts/0
Hope this can help someone.
