[ELDK] Using FTDI USB serial converter with ELDK

We told you how to get there most easily.  Of course nobody prevents you
from creating the device file by hand in the dev directory.  Try a

# mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0

and test whether you can talk with it.  The major and minor number
_should_ be right, but in the end you have to check the driver source
and/or /proc/devices.

Cheers
