[Voyage-linux] usb serial port adapter not found

[Punky Tse]

Chad,

There are some suggestion you can look at:
- Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt in the kernel source should have
the information you need.  Looks like you need to run "mknod
/dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0" .  Because voyage didn't use devfs.
- If you found FC3 work with your device, you should check what
modules are loaded (lsmod) in your FC3 machine.  And try to load the
same on voyage.  Unlike FC3, voyage comes with a very limited drivers
compiled because of the space consideration, some unnecessary drivers
are not included in the standard voyage kernel until someone request
it.

If you know what modules voyage should include, please let me know and
I am happy to include it in the next kernel release.
