  <pre wrap="">Amending my question. Not sure why the image I had installed wouldn't 
run mknod, but it seems to work now. I suspect user error, but whatever. 
Anyway, the question is how to add a USB serial device? I've got pl2303 
as a module, and usbserial seems to be working. However, unlike my 
fedora box, when I load pl2303, I can't talk to the device. I've got a 
ttyUSB0 created as 188, 0 character device, but can't even open the 
port. I get a no such device error. I've seen chat on the list about 
using usbserial adapters, but now what is required in the image to make 
this work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

but no new device is created in /dev that I can find. How do I create 
the dev entry for ttyUSB0 so that gpsd can talk to the device?
