    Alan,<br>
    <br>
    What that output tells me is that while the kernel is seeing the
    device insertion, there is no driver available for it.  If there
    were, you'd see the driver load in syslog right after the lines for
    the insertion.  You'd also see some lines where 'usbserial' would
    load.  <br>
    <br>
    The key to this is a) finding the right driver -and- b) making sure
    the driver is listed for the given vendor and product ids
    ("idVendor=0584, idProduct=b03a").<br>
    <br>
    So the first thing that has to be established is what chipset this
    RATOC device is using, which will guide us to the right driver.<br>

              Something that might be easier to work with than dmesg is
              lsusb.<br>
              <br>
              If you run the 'lsusb' command you will see what devices
              Linux thinks are attached to the USB.  What I do if I'm in
              doubt is to run lsusb before plugging in the cable, then
              run it again after plugging in the cable to see what, if
              anything, shows up that is different.<br>
              <br>
              On my system, running lsusb before plugging in the cable
              shows the following:<br>
              <blockquote><tt>Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel

              Note the difference.<br>
              <br>
              Another approach is to use the 'tail' command to watch the
              system logs as you plug in the cable.<br>
              <br>
              For example, if you run "tail -f /var/log/syslog" (this is
              in Ubuntu 14.04) and then plug in the cable, you should
              see something like the following:<br>

              The above is pretty much what dmesg will give you,
              although you are seeing it in "real time" as it were.<br>
              <br>
              (Note that "-f" means that tail will continuously follow
              the file, so you have to press Ctrl-C to stop)<br>
              <br>
              Of course, you mileage may vary, as it will depend on what
              chipset the Yaesu cable is using.  I suspect they aren't
              using the PL2303 that I'm using (the above is for a
              typical Chinese UV-5R programming cable as I don't have a
              FT-1D or either of its programming cables).<br>
