Anyone buy the mp3car usb adapter for xm ? I just bought both units and am having trouble getting my linux both to recognize it. I tried it in winblows and it seems to work (and seems to use the ftdi usb-serial driver). I have ftdi compiled into my kernel, but my system is not associating the device with the driver. I have manually loaded the module, but when I plug in the device in, this is all i get in dmesg:
-- modprobe ftdi_sio --
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device
usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio
drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver
-- plug in the unit --
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Notice no /dev/ttyUSB creation ? lsusb -v gives me this:

So I know the device is there, I think I just need to know how to make the kernel know the unit is an ftdi device.
So - anyone else try this ?
