Hi.
I'm trying to connect to my switch console port with usb to serial adapter, as i don't have serial port on my laptop. I should mention that i'm fairly new to unix-like systems ie. newb if you prefer.
Before i discredit this adapter as simply not working, i'd ask some help first.
part of dmesg shows
when i plug adapter in my laptop.
but there is no ucom0 in /dev only hub4 to which ucom0 looks to be converted.
So i installed minicom and tried to log in to /dev/usb4 but to no avail. Also tried to log in to /dev/ttyd0 (no idea what's that for).
Finally after reading some poorly written tutorial on this i went to /usr/src/sys/modules/ucom and make; make install it. Again not really sure what I'm doing.
On my desktop which does have serial connection and linux i simply minicom into /dev/ttyS0.
So how do i go about doing this in freeBSD with usb adapter?
Thanks for any help guys.
