Ubuntu creates /dev/ttyUSB0 for me when
I plug in the usb-to-serial-adapter. I have a
symbolic-link to /dev/ttyUSB0 from 'dosdevices/com1'.
What is new in 10.04 Ubuntu is that I have to sudo chmod o+r
and sudo chmod o+w on /dev/ttyUSB0 every time before I
start the app which uses that serial line. ttyUSB0 goes away when
I unplug the serial adapter from the USB port or
shut down the laptop (with Ubuntu 10.04)! And it comes back with
permissions rw-rw---- when I plug in the adapter.
'dmesg' reports 'pl2303' and Prolific 2303 USB to serial adapter driver
(in several lines of verbiage) when I plug in the adapter.
Back in 8.04 Ubuntu the 'other' read/write access and
ttyUSB0 stuck around across shutdowns of the laptop
and unplugging the adapter
(or else ttyUSB0 always came back with 'other' read/write,
I cannot recall which it really was).
