Creating nodes for DECRYPTA

:
If your Linux distribution is using devfs you can skip this step.
Create nodes by doing: mknode /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknode /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
mknode /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
To check if you already have the driver enabled, plug the DECRYPTA
3
into the USB port
and do the following: cat /dev/ttyUSB0
if the following appears: cat: /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
you DON'T have a loaded module.
Loading a module:
do the following: modprobe ftdi_sio
if no error messages were displayed, check if the driver was properly enabled as outlined before. If there was some errors, it
means that you will have to rebuild the drivers.
Rebuilding drivers:
cd /usr/src/linux if the directory does not exist, install kernel sources from your distribution CD. Contact your Linux vendor for
further support.
make menuconfig. If any error occurs try to reinstall the kernel sources.
