[Angstrom-distro-users] Install stuck on h2200?

[Morgan Read]

Thanks Harmon, it took a little while to sort usbserial for usb_serial:) ...

But, now I've got that, this is what usbserial gives me:
[root at morgansmachine ~]# modprobe usbserial
[root at morgansmachine ~]# lsmod | grep usb
usbserial              30889  0
usblp                  14913  0
usb_storage            73601  0
scsi_mod              120013  5 usb_storage,sr_mod,sg,libata,sd_mod
[root at morgansmachine ~]#

[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$ dmesg
Linux version 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 
(mockbuild at xenbuilder2.fedora.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 
(Red Hat 4.1.2-33)) #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:48:34 EST 2008
...
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$

No extra devices are apparent in /dev

Does usbserial and the ipaq require another driver to be loaded?  Any 
other pointes?

Regards,
Morgan.
