Have some problems when trying the Tellstick on Linux, won't get any /dev/ttyUSBn device.

sudo /sbin/modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=6017 product=3120

Looking at the log, it seems as the ftdi_sio driver insertion doesn't recognize the parameters (product, vendor)

ftdi_sio: Unknown parameter `product'

Anyone that has seen this before?
(Or has any other pointer(s) to a solution...)

That code works perfect on my machine. What version of the kernel are you using?

I'm running on a 2.6.8-24.25 (Suse) system.

Did a quick try on a 2.6.17.10 (Ubuntu) LiveCD this morning and behold! The ttyUSB appears in all it's glory!

The vendor and product parameter was added to the module in kernel 2.6.14

This again proves the need to stay on the bleeding edge
