I’m using a Vmware image of Open Suse 11.1. When I plug in two USB-RS232 converters, both devices show up as selected in the VMware border, but only /dev/ttyUSB0 is visible in Suse 11.1. Using the same devices, on the same laptop, I am able to see both /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 in a Suse 10.3 vmware image.
Could this be a configuration issue? Or should I report a bug?
Another interesting thing is that lsusb and dmesg do not see the 2nd USB device being plugged in. I can plug the cables in either port and in either order, and the first one plugged in is always recognized, but the second one is not.
