Hi all: How does one configure settings for USB-to-serial adapter in FreeBSD ? The one i have purchased is http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=CHEAP-SERIAL&cats=199&catid=482%2C1303%2C199%2C461%2C106%2C1009%2C601 On the Gentoo box, 'lsusb' displays it as: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port i have to access a headless AMD64X2 box running FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE, from a FreeBSD 8.0 laptop. So far, i've used 'cu' and '/dev/cu0a', but thats because both the systems had a serial port interface. The key info i'm looking for is: . what is the driver to load . what is the device entry to look for . is 'cu' good enough or i need to install some other tool thanks Saifi.
