DeLorme USB Earthmate problem

[Andrzej Cuber]

Hello Everyone,

I have DeLorme Publishing DeLorme USB Earthmate, rev 1.00/0.04, it is a 
gps receiver. I was googling for the entire day and I found out that I 
have to include the following driver ucycom into the kernel and remake it. 
This is the USB section of my GENERIC configuration file:
# USB support
device          uhci            # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device          ohci            # OHCI PCI->USB interface

device          rue             # RealTek RTL8150 USB Ethernet

after installing and rebooting, there is no new device in /dev directory.
I can see that that this receiver is represented by /dev/ugen0 and there 
are also /dev/ugen0.1 and /dev/ugen0.2.
According to man page for ucycom, it is a bridge between the usb and 
serial type access.
I have read many pages and it should appear as /dev/ttyUSB0 in the 
system. I tested it under knoppix and it was working perfectly.
Can somebody help me and tell me what do I do wrong?
Do I have to comment some drivers in the config file?
Do I have to use mknod manually to create the device under /dev?
Do I have to use some other driver like pl2302 ora FTD?
